Questions from Sciennes

Can a chipped butler sink be fixed?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Do you fix kitchen doors?

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

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Kitchen sink repair in Sciennes without replacing anything

We repair the damage and match the original finish, so you do not need replacement parts. If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it normally needs re-wrapping; we fix chips, dents and local damage. We regularly repair cabinet ends & plinths, vinyl-wrapped doors and ceramic Belfast & butler sinks, and common reasons people contact us are cracks around the waste and chipped door and drawer edges.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and wipe door edges dry.

Can I fix it myself?

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 do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sciennes

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Most clients in Sciennes get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Should you replace it?
