Kitchen sink repair in Hobson

About our kitchen sink repair in Hobson

We repair the damage and match the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl typically need re-wrapping or replacing; we fix chips, dents and local damage. We regularly repair composite sinks, vinyl-wrapped doors and gloss and matt cupboard doors, and common reasons people contact us are cracks around the waste and damage from fitting or moving appliances.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Hobson and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and wipe door edges dry.

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Gateshead and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How we price kitchen sink repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Hobson. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole sink or cupboard door, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Doors where the vinyl wrap has lifted across a large area
  • Doors swollen by water
  • Sinks cracked through the base

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and prepared.
  2. We fill chips and rebuild edges.
  3. We shape the repair to match the original.
  4. We colour-match to the sink glaze or door finish.
  5. We polish or seal the repair.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
