Kitchen sink repair in Short Heath, done in place

Repairs are matched to the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it normally needs re-wrapping; we repair chips and dents. If you’re dealing with dents and scuffs on cabinets and damage from fitting or moving appliances, we can help, whatever the material.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and wipe door edges dry.

The process

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean and prepare the damaged area.
  2. Chips are filled and edges rebuilt.
  3. We sand the repair to the original profile.
  4. The colour is matched to the sink or door finish.
  5. Finally we polish or seal it.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Related advice

When a repair is not the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one 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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

When to call us in Short Heath

Ceramic sinks chip when pans and crockery are dropped, and cupboard doors get knocked by chairs, bins and vacuum cleaners.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Damage from fitting or moving appliances
  • Cracks around the waste
  • Chips in ceramic sinks
  • Dents and scuffs on cabinets

Before booking anyone

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What preparation is included

What affects the price in Short Heath

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Short Heath. The price reflects:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas

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

How to get a fixed price

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire sink or cupboard door, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Repairing versus replacing in Short Heath

A new sink or door may mean disturbing the worktop and plumbing, or hunting for a door that is no longer made. A repair keeps your kitchen as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
