Kitchen sink repair for Skelwith Bridge homes

Kitchen sink repair in Skelwith Bridge without replacing anything

We repair the damage and match the original finish, so you don’t need replacement parts. Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl usually need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. Typical jobs include chipped door and drawer edges and cracks around the waste, on ceramic Belfast & butler sinks, composite sinks and gloss and matt cupboard doors.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

When a repair is not the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Skelwith Bridge questions

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole sink or cupboard door and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do you fix kitchen doors?

Yes. Chips, dents and scuffs are repaired on most door finishes.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you repair a chipped Belfast sink?

Yes. We often repair chips on the rim, front and around the waste.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

When to call us in Skelwith Bridge

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace in Skelwith Bridge?

Replacing a sink or door can mean disturbing the worktop, cabinets and plumbing, or finding a matching door that is been discontinued. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by preparing the damage.
  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. We polish or seal the repair.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price
