Kitchen sink repair in Skelmanthorpe

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

How we handle kitchen sink repair in Skelmanthorpe

Repairs are matched to the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl usually need re-wrapping or replacing; we fix chips, dents and local damage. We are often asked to fix cracks around the waste and dents and scuffs on cabinets, in gloss and matt cupboard doors, ceramic Belfast & butler sinks and cabinet ends & plinths.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

What kitchen sink repair costs

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

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • One picture of the whole sink or cupboard door
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

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

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We start by preparing the damage.
  2. Next we fill the chips and rebuild any edges.
  3. We shape the repair to match the original.
  4. The colour is matched to the sink or door finish.
  5. Finally we polish or seal it.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Skelmanthorpe questions

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Skelmanthorpe as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

When to call us in Skelmanthorpe

Dropped pans chip ceramic sinks, and cupboard doors get knocked by chairs, bins and vacuum cleaners.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a sink or door may mean disturbing the worktop and plumbing, or hunting for a door that’s no longer made. Repairing it keeps your kitchen as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
