Kitchen sink repair in Houghton-le-Spring, done in place

Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl typically need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. We repair the damage and match the original finish, so you do not need replacement parts. Common call-outs are for chips in ceramic sinks and chipped door and drawer edges, on vinyl-wrapped doors, cabinet ends & plinths and gloss and matt cupboard doors.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

Work for landlords and builders

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

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Houghton-le-Spring use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

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.

Repairing versus replacing in Houghton-le-Spring

Replacing a sink or door may mean disturbing the worktop and plumbing, or hunting for a door that is no longer made. Repairing it keeps your kitchen as it is. Our kitchen sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
