Kitchen sink repair in Sand Hill

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  2. Next we fill the chips and rebuild any edges.
  3. We shape the repair to match the original.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze or door.
  5. We polish or seal the repair.

Getting ready for the visit

Advice

Kitchen sink repair in Sand Hill without replacing anything

We repair the damage and match the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it typically needs re-wrapping; we repair chips and dents. Our technicians work on vinyl-wrapped doors, cabinet ends & plinths and gloss and matt cupboard doors, and common reasons people get in touch are damage from fitting or moving appliances and chips in ceramic sinks.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a sink or door can mean disturbing the worktop, cabinets and plumbing, or finding a matching door that is been discontinued. Repairing it keeps your kitchen as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.

Sand Hill: your questions answered

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you work in Sand Hill?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Sand Hill from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can a chipped butler sink be fixed?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do:

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Essex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole sink or cupboard door, we can give you a fixed price.
