Kitchen sink repair in Pilrig

About our kitchen sink repair in Pilrig

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 you do not need replacement parts. Typical jobs include chipped door and drawer edges and dents and scuffs on cabinets, across cabinet ends & plinths, gloss and matt cupboard doors and vinyl-wrapped doors.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and wipe door edges dry.

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and prepared.
  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. Finally we polish or seal it.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What we’re called out for in Pilrig

Ceramic sinks chip when pans and crockery are dropped, and cupboard doors get knocked by chairs, bins and vacuum cleaners.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Dents and scuffs on cabinets
  • Chipped door and drawer edges
  • Cracks around the waste
  • Chips in ceramic sinks

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Pilrig: your questions answered

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you repair cupboard doors?

Yes. Chips, dents and scuffs are repaired on most door finishes.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

What kitchen sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For a price in Pilrig, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new sink or door may mean disturbing the worktop and plumbing, or finding a matching door that’s been discontinued. Repairing it keeps your kitchen as it is. 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 pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
