Kitchen sink repair at your home in Shipmeadow
Repairs are matched to the original finish, so you don’t need replacement parts. Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl generally need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. Our technicians work on gloss and matt cupboard doors, composite sinks and cabinet ends & plinths, and common reasons people contact us are dents and scuffs on cabinets and cracks around the waste.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

Common questions in Shipmeadow
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How much does kitchen sink repair cost in Shipmeadow?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NR34 postcode.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a sink or door may mean disturbing the worktop and plumbing, or finding a matching door that is been discontinued. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What we are called out for in Shipmeadow

These are the problems we are asked about most:

What to look for in a quote
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Doors where the vinyl wrap has lifted across a large area
- Doors swollen by water

Advice
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shipmeadow as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
