- We start by preparing the damage.
- Next we fill the chips and rebuild any edges.
- The repair is sanded to the original profile.
- We match the colour to the glaze or door.
- We polish or seal the repair.

Advice
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- 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 you book.
Materials we repair
- Cabinet ends & plinths
- Gloss and matt cupboard doors
- Ceramic Belfast & butler sinks

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
