Kitchen sink repair in Lake, done in place

If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it generally needs re-wrapping; we repair chips and dents. Repairs are matched to the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. Whether it’s chips in ceramic sinks and cracks around the waste, we can generally put it right, on vinyl-wrapped doors, cabinet ends & plinths and ceramic Belfast & butler sinks alike.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Lake and across Dorset. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and wipe door edges dry.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new sink or door can mean disturbing the worktop, cabinets and plumbing, or finding a matching door that is been discontinued. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Lake. The price reflects:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Lake, and we will reply with a fixed price.

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

If you manage property in Lake, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.

  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. We polish or seal the repair.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Lake questions

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can a chipped butler sink be fixed?

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

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Lake is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
