FAQs for North Hylton
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you come to North Hylton?
We do. We send a technician to North Hylton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Kitchen sink repair in North Hylton, done in place
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. Typical jobs include cracks around the waste and dents and scuffs on cabinets, in gloss and matt cupboard doors, vinyl-wrapped doors and cabinet ends & plinths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in North Hylton use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Should you replace it?
A new sink or door may mean disturbing the worktop and plumbing, or finding a matching door that is been discontinued. A repair leaves everything in place. 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.
