Kitchen sink repair in Hitchin without replacing anything

If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it typically needs re-wrapping; we fix chips, dents and local damage. We repair the damage and match the original finish, so you do not need replacement parts. If you are dealing with damage from fitting or moving appliances and cracks around the waste, we can help, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and wipe door edges dry.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What kitchen sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Hitchin. The price reflects:

  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • A photo taken from further back

A quote takes minutes to ask for: 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 price, not a guess.

Landlord and trade work in Hitchin

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.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hitchin: your questions answered

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

How it works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and prepared.
  2. Chips are filled and edges rebuilt.
  3. We sand the repair 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

  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
