Kitchen sink repair in Lifton

Lifton questions

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Does someone need to be in?

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

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.

Kitchen sink repair in Lifton, done in place

Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl normally need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. Repairs are matched to the original finish, so you don’t need replacement parts. Our technicians work on vinyl-wrapped doors, composite sinks and ceramic Belfast & butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are cracks around the waste and damage from fitting or moving appliances.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Lifton and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

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.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Lifton. The price comes down to:

  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • One picture of the whole sink or cupboard door
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

If you are in Lifton and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Repairing versus replacing in Lifton

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by preparing the damage.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
