Kitchen sink repair for How Wood homes

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a sink or door may mean disturbing the worktop and plumbing, or finding a matching door that’s been discontinued. A repair keeps your kitchen as it is. Our kitchen sink repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

  • Same prices wherever you are

How we handle kitchen sink repair in How Wood

We repair the damage and match the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it normally needs re-wrapping; we fix chips, dents and local damage. We work on cabinet ends & plinths, gloss and matt cupboard doors and composite sinks, and people most often call us about damage from fitting or moving appliances and chips in ceramic sinks.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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

What affects the price in How Wood

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

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