Kitchen sink repair for Newnham homes

Kitchen sink repair in Newnham without replacing anything

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 usually needs re-wrapping; we fix chips, dents and local damage. We are frequently asked to fix damage from fitting or moving appliances and chipped door and drawer edges, across ceramic Belfast & butler sinks, gloss and matt cupboard doors and vinyl-wrapped doors.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and wipe door edges dry.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How we price kitchen sink repair

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Repairing versus replacing in Newnham

A new sink or door may mean disturbing the worktop and plumbing, or hunting for a door that is no longer made. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Everything repaired in place

Questions from Newnham

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

  5. We polish or seal the repair.

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
