How we handle kitchen sink repair in South Portobello

Repairs are matched to the original finish, so you don’t need replacement parts. Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl normally need re-wrapping or replacing; we fix chips, dents and local damage. If you are dealing with chips in ceramic sinks and dents and scuffs on cabinets, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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. We match the colour to the glaze or door.
  5. The repair is polished or sealed.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

What we are called out for in South Portobello

Ceramic sinks chip when pans and crockery are dropped, while doors take knocks from bins, chairs and hoovers.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Dents and scuffs on cabinets
  • Chipped door and drawer edges
  • Damage from fitting or moving appliances
  • Cracks around the waste

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

How we price kitchen sink repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole sink or cupboard door
  • Natural light rather than flash

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
