Kitchen sink repair in Riddlesdown

Kitchen sink repair at your home in Riddlesdown

Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl typically need re-wrapping or replacing; we fix chips, dents and local damage. Repairs are matched to the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. Whether it’s damage from fitting or moving appliances and cracks around the waste, we can normally put it right, on gloss and matt cupboard doors, cabinet ends & plinths and vinyl-wrapped doors alike.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and wipe door edges dry.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours. 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. The repair is polished or sealed.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, including:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Riddlesdown

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What kitchen sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Riddlesdown. What changes the price is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole sink or cupboard door, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Repair or replace in Riddlesdown?

Common questions in Riddlesdown

Can a chipped butler sink be fixed?

Yes. We often repair chips on the rim, front and around the waste.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do you cover the entire of Greater London?

All of Greater London, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
