Kitchen sink repair in Laira, done in place
Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl usually need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. Repairs are matched to the original finish, so you do not need replacement parts. Common call-outs are for cracks around the waste and chipped door and drawer edges, on cabinet ends & plinths, vinyl-wrapped doors and gloss and matt cupboard doors.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For anyone letting property in or around Laira, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
What affects the price in Laira

Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Questions from Laira
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Plymouth.
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area.
- Next we fill the chips and rebuild any edges.
- The repair is sanded to the original profile.
- We colour-match to the sink glaze or door finish.
- The repair is polished or sealed.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
