Kitchen sink repair in Highgate

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 pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Kitchen sink repair in Highgate without replacing anything

We repair the damage and match the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl generally need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. If you’re dealing with damage from fitting or moving appliances and chips in ceramic sinks, we can normally put it right, on gloss and matt cupboard doors, cabinet ends & plinths and vinyl-wrapped doors alike.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Highgate as everywhere else we work. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and wipe door edges dry.

Highgate: your questions answered

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and prepared.
  2. Next we fill the chips and rebuild any edges.
  3. We sand the repair to the original profile.
  4. The colour is matched to the sink or door finish.
  5. Finally we polish or seal it.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Related advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new sink or door can mean disturbing the worktop, cabinets and plumbing, or hunting for a door that’s no longer made. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Highgate use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Common problems we fix in Highgate

Ceramic sinks chip when pans and crockery are dropped, while doors take knocks from bins, chairs and hoovers.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Damage from fitting or moving appliances
  • Dents and scuffs on cabinets
  • Chipped door and drawer edges
  • Cracks around the waste

10 questions to ask before you book

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Highgate. The price comes down to:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the entire sink or cupboard door
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your N6 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
