Kitchen sink repair in Illston on the Hill without replacing anything

Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl normally need re-wrapping or replacing; we fix chips, dents and local damage. We repair the damage and match the original finish, so you do not need replacement parts. We work on ceramic Belfast & butler sinks, gloss and matt cupboard doors and cabinet ends & plinths, and common reasons people contact us are damage from fitting or moving appliances and chipped door and drawer edges.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Illston on the Hill and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and wipe door edges dry.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and prepared.
  2. Next we fill the chips and rebuild any edges.
  3. We sand the repair 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

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole sink or cupboard door, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What affects the price in Illston on the Hill

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Illston on the Hill. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A wider photo showing the whole sink or cupboard door
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Why repair rather than replace?
