Trusted kitchen sink repair in Hunwick

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, 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

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

What we work on

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

How we handle kitchen sink repair in Hunwick

Repairs are matched to the original finish, so you don’t need replacement parts. If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it generally needs re-wrapping; we repair chips and dents. Whether it’s dents and scuffs on cabinets and damage from fitting or moving appliances, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and wipe door edges dry.

How we price kitchen sink repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole sink or cupboard door
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Work for landlords and builders

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

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in County Durham and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Hunwick: your questions answered

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do you fix kitchen doors?

Yes. Chips, dents and scuffs are repaired on most door finishes.
