Kitchen sink repair for Rye Foreign homes

Kitchen sink repair in Rye Foreign without replacing anything

If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it usually needs re-wrapping; we fix chips, dents and local damage. Repairs are matched to the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. We are frequently asked to fix chipped door and drawer edges and cracks around the waste, on composite sinks, ceramic Belfast & butler sinks and cabinet ends & plinths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and wipe door edges dry.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new sink or door can mean disturbing the worktop, cabinets and plumbing, or finding a matching door that is been discontinued. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colour-matched on site

10 questions to ask before you book

Rye Foreign questions

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

When can you do it?

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

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Do the materials smell?

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

How we price kitchen sink repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Most customers in Rye Foreign get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different 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.

What we work on

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

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

For anyone letting property in or around Rye Foreign, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by preparing the damage.
  2. Next we fill the chips and rebuild any edges.
  3. We shape the repair to match the original.
  4. We colour-match to the sink glaze or door finish.
  5. The repair is polished or sealed.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
