Kitchen sink repair for Shide homes

Kitchen sink repair at your home in Shide

Repairs are matched to the original finish, so you don’t need replacement parts. Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl usually need re-wrapping or replacing; we fix chips, dents and local damage. We regularly repair ceramic Belfast & butler sinks, vinyl-wrapped doors and cabinet ends & plinths, and the jobs we see most are chips in ceramic sinks and cracks around the waste.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and wipe door edges dry.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. We start by preparing the damage.
  2. Chips are filled and edges rebuilt.
  3. We shape the repair to match the original.
  4. We colour-match to the sink glaze or door finish.
  5. Finally we polish or seal it.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Shide questions

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire sink or cupboard door and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can a chipped butler sink be fixed?

Yes. We frequently repair chips on the rim, front and around the waste.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is it messy?

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

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new sink or door may mean disturbing the worktop and plumbing, or hunting for a door that’s no longer made. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
