Kitchen Sink Repair for High Etherley homes

- Damage from fitting or moving appliances

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
About our kitchen sink repair in High Etherley
Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl normally need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. We repair the damage and match the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. Whether it’s chipped door and drawer edges and chips in ceramic sinks, we can help, on gloss and matt cupboard doors, cabinet ends & plinths and ceramic Belfast & butler sinks alike.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and wipe door edges dry.

The process
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by preparing the damage.
- We fill chips and rebuild edges.
- We shape the repair to match the original.
- We match the colour to the glaze or door.
- Finally we polish or seal it.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

What kitchen sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
