How we handle kitchen sink repair in Hamsterley Mill

We repair the damage and match the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it normally needs re-wrapping; we fix chips, dents and local damage. We work on cabinet ends & plinths, vinyl-wrapped doors and gloss and matt cupboard doors, and people most often call us about dents and scuffs on cabinets and cracks around the waste.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and wipe door edges dry.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Gateshead and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by preparing the damage.
  2. Chips are filled and edges rebuilt.
  3. We sand the repair to the original profile.
  4. The colour is matched to the sink or door finish.
  5. The repair is polished or sealed.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Why repair rather than replace?

A new sink or door may mean disturbing the worktop and plumbing, or finding a matching door that’s been discontinued. A repair keeps your kitchen as it is. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Same prices wherever you are
