Our hiring checklist

How we handle kitchen sink repair in Gatley

We repair the damage and match the original finish, so you do not need replacement parts. Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl typically need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. Our repair technicians work on gloss and matt cupboard doors, cabinet ends & plinths and composite sinks, and people most often call us about chipped door and drawer edges and chips in ceramic sinks.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and wipe door edges dry.

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We clean and prepare the damaged area.
  2. We fill chips and rebuild edges.
  3. We shape the repair to match the original.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze or door.
  5. We polish or seal the repair.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gatley

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gatley use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

For anyone letting property in or around Gatley, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

What kitchen sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A wider photo showing the entire sink or cupboard door
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Questions from Gatley

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Can a chipped butler sink be fixed?

Yes. We often repair chips on the rim, front and around the waste.
