Do I need to be at home?

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

Can you repair cupboard doors?

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

What does kitchen sink repair cost?

Kitchen sink repair in Ruchill, done in place

Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl generally need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. Repairs are matched to the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. We work on vinyl-wrapped doors, gloss and matt cupboard doors and cabinet ends & plinths, and the jobs we see most are chips in ceramic sinks and damage from fitting or moving appliances.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and wipe door edges dry.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ruchill as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Repair or replace in Ruchill?

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. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What kitchen sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Ruchill. What changes the price is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a few hours.

  1. We clean and prepare the damaged area.
  2. Chips are filled and edges rebuilt.
  3. The repair is sanded 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

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
