Kitchen sink repair in Hurlston

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’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 photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Kitchen sink repair in Hurlston without replacing anything

Repairs are matched to the original finish, so you don’t need replacement parts. If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it normally needs re-wrapping; we fix chips, dents and local damage. Our repair technicians work on ceramic Belfast & butler sinks, cabinet ends & plinths and composite sinks, and common reasons people contact us are damage from fitting or moving appliances and chipped door and drawer edges.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by preparing the damage.
  2. Next we fill the chips and rebuild any edges.
  3. We shape the repair to match the original.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze or door.
  5. Finally we polish or seal it.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the area is dry

Hurlston questions

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you repair a chipped Belfast sink?

Yes. Chips to the rim, apron and around the waste are common repairs.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a sink or door may mean disturbing the worktop and plumbing, or hunting for a door that is no longer made. A repair keeps your kitchen as it is. Our kitchen sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Hurlston

  • Fixed prices from your photos
