About our kitchen sink repair in Long Eaton
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. We work on gloss and matt cupboard doors, composite sinks and vinyl-wrapped doors, and people most often call us about dents and scuffs on cabinets and chips in ceramic sinks.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
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.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

- Doing more than one item at once

Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
