How we handle kitchen sink repair in Lauder

Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl generally need re-wrapping or replacing; we fix chips, dents and local damage. Repairs are matched to the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. Our technicians work on cabinet ends & plinths, composite sinks and vinyl-wrapped doors, and the jobs we see most are chipped door and drawer edges and dents and scuffs on cabinets.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and wipe door edges dry.

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Your questions about kitchen sink repair in Lauder

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

When can you do it?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

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

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How do I get a price for kitchen sink repair in Lauder?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your TD2 postcode.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by preparing the damage.
  2. Chips are filled and edges rebuilt.
  3. The repair is sanded to the original profile.
  4. We colour-match to the sink glaze or door finish.
  5. Finally we polish or seal it.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
