Common questions in Pickering Nook

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you come to Pickering Nook?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Pickering Nook and the rest of Gateshead. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair a chipped Belfast sink?

Yes. Chips to the rim, apron and around the waste are common repairs.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

About our kitchen sink repair in Pickering Nook

Repairs are matched to the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it normally needs re-wrapping; we fix chips, dents and local damage. Whether it’s chipped door and drawer edges and cracks around the waste, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and wipe door edges dry.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new sink or door can mean disturbing the worktop, cabinets and plumbing, or hunting for a door that’s no longer made. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • No extra charge for your area
  • A fixed quote before you book

What kitchen sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send pictures for a quote

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A wider photo showing the whole sink or cupboard door
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  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. The colour is matched to the sink or door finish.
  5. We polish or seal the repair.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
