- We sand the repair to the original profile.
- We match the colour to the glaze or door.
- We polish or seal the repair.
Before we arrive

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the sink or cupboard door, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Kitchen sink repair in Old St Mellons without replacing anything
We repair the damage and match the original finish, so you don’t need replacement parts.

Whether it’s cracks around the waste and dents and scuffs on cabinets, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and wipe door edges dry.

What affects the price in Old St Mellons
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
