Our hiring checklist

Kitchen sink repair at your home in Newtown St Boswells

If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it normally 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. Common call-outs are for damage from fitting or moving appliances and chips in ceramic sinks, in cabinet ends & plinths, gloss and matt cupboard doors and vinyl-wrapped doors.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

FAQs for Newtown St Boswells

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Can a chipped butler sink be fixed?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and prepared.
  2. Chips are filled and edges rebuilt.
  3. We shape the repair to match the original.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze or door.
  5. We polish or seal the repair.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Newtown St Boswells, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new sink or door may mean disturbing the worktop and plumbing, or finding a matching door that is been discontinued. A repair keeps your kitchen as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

How we price kitchen sink repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
