Trusted kitchen sink repair in Pathhead

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Kitchen sink repair in Pathhead, done in place

Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl usually need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. We repair the damage and match the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. Our repair technicians work on vinyl-wrapped doors, ceramic Belfast & butler sinks and composite sinks, and people most frequently call us about damage from fitting or moving appliances and dents and scuffs on cabinets.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We start by preparing the damage.
  2. Chips are filled and edges rebuilt.
  3. We sand the repair to the original profile.
  4. The colour is matched to the sink or door finish.
  5. We polish or seal the repair.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole sink or cupboard door, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pathhead

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a sink or door may mean disturbing the worktop and plumbing, or finding a matching door that is been discontinued. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Same prices wherever you are

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Pathhead. The price comes down to:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is

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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

When we’d advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Doors where the vinyl wrap has lifted across a large area
  • Doors swollen by water
  • Sinks cracked through the base

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

  • Ceramic Belfast & butler sinks
  • Cabinet ends & plinths
  • Composite sinks
  • Vinyl-wrapped doors
  • Gloss and matt cupboard doors

Questions from Pathhead

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

How soon can you come?

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

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you quote from photos?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
