Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Darlington and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

About our kitchen sink repair in Newton Ketton
We repair the damage and match the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl normally need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. If you’re dealing with chips in ceramic sinks and chipped door and drawer edges, we can help, on composite sinks, ceramic Belfast & butler sinks and gloss and matt cupboard doors alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

Common questions in Newton Ketton
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Repairing versus replacing in Newton Ketton
A new sink or door can mean disturbing the worktop, cabinets and plumbing, or finding a matching door that is been discontinued. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by preparing the damage.
- We fill chips and rebuild edges.
- The repair is sanded to the original profile.
- We colour-match to the sink glaze or door finish.
- We polish or seal the repair.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
