How we handle kitchen sink repair in Newington

We repair the damage and match the original finish, so you do not need replacement parts. If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it normally needs re-wrapping; we repair chips and dents. If you’re dealing with chipped door and drawer edges and damage from fitting or moving appliances, we can typically put it right, on composite sinks, ceramic Belfast & butler sinks and vinyl-wrapped doors alike.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and wipe door edges dry.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

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 is not prepared the repair will not last.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A photo taken from further back

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Newington, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new sink or door can mean disturbing the worktop, cabinets and plumbing, or finding a matching door that’s been discontinued. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Choosing a repair company

Newington: your questions answered

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you fix kitchen doors?

Yes. Chips, dents and scuffs are repaired on most door finishes.

Can a chipped butler sink be fixed?

Yes. We often repair chips on the rim, front and around the waste.

Do you come to Newington?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Newington from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you cover the whole of Kent?

The whole UK, including all of Kent. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
