How we handle kitchen sink repair in Shelvin

Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl generally need re-wrapping or replacing; we fix chips, dents and local damage. We repair the damage and match the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. Typical jobs include cracks around the waste and chipped door and drawer edges, across gloss and matt cupboard doors, vinyl-wrapped doors and composite sinks.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is 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.

Shelvin questions

Do you fix kitchen doors?

Yes. Chips, dents and scuffs are repaired on gloss, matt and wood-effect doors.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

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

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Shelvin included. There is no extra charge for travel.

What a repair can’t fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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.

Materials we work on in Shelvin

  • Gloss and matt cupboard doors
  • Vinyl-wrapped doors

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  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. The colour is matched to the sink or door finish.
  5. The repair is polished or sealed.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear the area around the damage

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 won’t last.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How we price kitchen sink repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the whole sink or cupboard door

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
