For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Spike Island use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Kitchen sink repair in Spike Island 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 fix chips, dents and local damage. Typical jobs include cracks around the waste and chipped door and drawer edges, in gloss and matt cupboard doors, cabinet ends & plinths and ceramic Belfast & butler sinks.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Spike Island and across Bristol. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and wipe door edges dry.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new sink or door can mean disturbing the worktop, cabinets and plumbing, or hunting for a door that’s no longer made. A repair leaves everything in place. Our kitchen sink repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by preparing the damage.
- Next we fill the chips and rebuild any edges.
- The repair is sanded to the original profile.
- We match the colour to the glaze or door.
- Finally we polish or seal it.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can
