Kitchen sink repair near Shirley

Kitchen sink repair in Shirley, done in place

Repairs are matched to the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl normally need re-wrapping or replacing; we fix chips, dents and local damage. We work on cabinet ends & plinths, ceramic Belfast & butler sinks and gloss and matt cupboard doors, and the jobs we see most are chipped door and drawer edges and dents and scuffs on cabinets.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and wipe door edges dry.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy.

  1. We clean and prepare the damaged area.
  2. We fill chips and rebuild edges.
  3. We sand the repair to the original profile.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze or door.
  5. Finally we polish or seal it.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What affects the price in Shirley

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

10 questions to ask before you book

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What we cannot put right

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Doors where the vinyl wrap has lifted across a large area
  • Doors swollen by water
  • Sinks cracked through the base

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Shirley

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

Questions from Shirley

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

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

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new sink or door may mean disturbing the worktop and plumbing, or finding a matching door that is been discontinued. Repairing it keeps your kitchen as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.
