Questions from Shinfield
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Reading. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you come to Shinfield?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Shinfield for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you fix kitchen doors?
Yes. We repair chips, dents and scuffs on gloss, matt and wood-effect doors.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
How we handle kitchen sink repair in Shinfield
Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl generally need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. Repairs are matched to the original finish, so you don’t need replacement parts. If you are dealing with dents and scuffs on cabinets and damage from fitting or moving appliances, we can help.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Shinfield and across Reading. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and wipe door edges dry.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips are filled and edges rebuilt.
- We shape the repair to match the original.
- We colour-match to the sink glaze or door finish.
- Finally we polish or seal it.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear the area around the damage
- Point us to the nearest place to park
