Kitchen sink repair for Melrose homes

About our kitchen sink repair in Melrose

If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it generally needs re-wrapping; we fix chips, dents and local damage. We repair the damage and match the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. Whether it’s damage from fitting or moving appliances and chipped door and drawer edges, we can help, on vinyl-wrapped doors, gloss and matt cupboard doors and composite sinks alike.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

What affects the price in Melrose

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Melrose. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire sink or cupboard door
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Should you replace it?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and prepared.
  2. Next we fill the chips and rebuild any edges.
  3. The repair is sanded to the original profile.
  4. We colour-match to the sink glaze or door finish.
  5. The repair is polished or sealed.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TD6 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Your questions about kitchen sink repair in Melrose

Do you come to Melrose?

We do. We send a technician to Melrose for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What does kitchen sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Landlord and trade work in Melrose

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Melrose use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
