Kitchen sink repair for Hobbs Cross homes

Kitchen sink repair in Hobbs Cross, done in place

Repairs are matched to the original finish, so you don’t need replacement parts. If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it usually needs re-wrapping; we repair chips and dents. Common call-outs are for chips in ceramic sinks and chipped door and drawer edges, in ceramic Belfast & butler sinks, cabinet ends & plinths and gloss and matt cupboard doors.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and prepared.
  2. Chips are filled and edges rebuilt.
  3. The repair is sanded to the original profile.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze or door.
  5. We polish or seal the repair.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

For landlords and businesses

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

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What affects the price in Hobbs Cross

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • One picture of the whole sink or cupboard door
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material

For a price in Hobbs Cross, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a sink or door can mean disturbing the worktop, cabinets and plumbing, or finding a matching door that is been discontinued. Repairing it keeps your kitchen as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What we are called out for in Hobbs Cross

Dropped pans chip ceramic sinks, while doors take knocks from bins, chairs and hoovers.

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

  • Dents and scuffs on cabinets
  • Cracks around the waste
  • Chipped door and drawer edges
  • Chips in ceramic sinks

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
