Book kitchen sink repair in Shaftesbury

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 normally the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How we handle kitchen sink repair in Shaftesbury

Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl generally need re-wrapping or replacing; we fix chips, dents and local damage. Repairs are matched to the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. If you’re dealing with chips in ceramic sinks and dents and scuffs on cabinets, we can typically put it right.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Shaftesbury as everywhere else we work. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and wipe door edges dry.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and prepared.
  2. Next we fill the chips and rebuild any edges.
  3. We sand the repair to the original profile.
  4. We colour-match to the sink glaze or door finish.
  5. Finally we polish or seal it.

Repairing versus replacing in Shaftesbury

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Shaftesbury questions

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole sink or cupboard door and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can a chipped butler sink be fixed?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How we price kitchen sink repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can 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 will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Shaftesbury

Ceramic sinks chip when pans and crockery are dropped, and cupboard doors get knocked by chairs, bins and vacuum cleaners.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Dents and scuffs on cabinets
  • Chips in ceramic sinks
  • Cracks around the waste
  • Chipped door and drawer edges

Questions to ask before you book

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What prep work is covered
