Kitchen sink repair for Herne Common homes

How we handle kitchen sink repair in Herne Common

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 repair chips and dents. Our technicians work on cabinet ends & plinths, composite sinks and ceramic Belfast & butler sinks, and people most often call us about chipped door and drawer edges and dents and scuffs on cabinets.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and wipe door edges dry.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Herne Common as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Common questions in Herne Common

Can you quote from photos?

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

Can you repair cupboard doors?

Yes. We repair chips, dents and scuffs on gloss, matt and wood-effect doors.

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.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes Herne Common. Prices don’t change with location.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you repair a chipped Belfast sink?

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

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Doors where the vinyl wrap has lifted across a large area
  • Doors swollen by water
  • Sinks cracked through the base

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

  • Vinyl-wrapped doors
  • Cabinet ends & plinths
  • Ceramic Belfast & butler sinks
  • Gloss and matt cupboard doors
  • Composite sinks

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean and prepare the damaged area.
  2. Chips are filled and edges rebuilt.
  3. The repair is sanded to the original profile.
  4. We colour-match to the sink glaze or door finish.
  5. The repair is polished or sealed.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Related advice

Should you replace it?

A new sink or door may mean disturbing the worktop and plumbing, or finding a matching door that’s been discontinued. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

What affects the price in Herne Common

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the sink or cupboard door, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
