Kitchen sink repair in Sanderstead without replacing anything

Repairs are matched to the original finish, so you don’t need replacement parts. If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it usually needs re-wrapping; we repair chips and dents. Common call-outs are for chipped door and drawer edges and chips in ceramic sinks, on gloss and matt cupboard doors, composite sinks and cabinet ends & plinths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and wipe door edges dry.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 generally cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sanderstead use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What affects the price in Sanderstead

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Sanderstead. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire sink or cupboard door

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
