Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
How we handle kitchen sink repair in Little Leighs
Repairs are matched to the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it normally needs re-wrapping; we repair chips and dents. Our repair technicians work on ceramic Belfast & butler sinks, cabinet ends & plinths and composite sinks, and people most frequently call us about chipped door and drawer edges and dents and scuffs on cabinets.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and wipe door edges dry.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Little Leighs questions
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do you come to Little Leighs?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Little Leighs from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Should you replace it?
A new sink or door can mean disturbing the worktop, cabinets and plumbing, or finding a matching door that’s been discontinued. Repairing it keeps your kitchen as it is. Our kitchen sink repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
