How we handle kitchen sink repair in New Town

Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl usually need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. Repairs are matched to the original finish, so you do not need replacement parts. Common call-outs are for dents and scuffs on cabinets and cracks around the waste, across cabinet ends & plinths, vinyl-wrapped doors and ceramic Belfast & butler sinks.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Doors where the vinyl wrap has lifted across a large area
  • Doors swollen by water
  • Sinks cracked through the base

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing a sink or door may mean disturbing the worktop and plumbing, or hunting for a door that is no longer made. Repairing it keeps your kitchen as it is. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

New Town questions

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you repair a chipped Belfast sink?

Yes. Chips to the rim, apron and around the waste are common repairs.

What happens next?

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

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and prepared.
  2. We fill chips and rebuild edges.
  3. We sand the repair to the original profile.
  4. We colour-match to the sink glaze or door finish.
  5. Finally we polish or seal it.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the whole sink or cupboard door
  • Details of any past repairs

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

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

For anyone letting property in or around New Town, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
