Kitchen sink repair in St John

About our kitchen sink repair in St John

Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl typically need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. Repairs are matched to the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. Our technicians work on gloss and matt cupboard doors, composite sinks and vinyl-wrapped doors, and the jobs we see most are dents and scuffs on cabinets and damage from fitting or moving appliances.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

10 questions to ask before booking

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We start by preparing the damage.
  2. We fill chips and rebuild edges.
  3. The repair is sanded to the original profile.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze or door.
  5. Finally we polish or seal it.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in St John, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Related advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

Repairing versus replacing in St John

Replacing a sink or door may mean disturbing the worktop and plumbing, or finding a matching door that’s been discontinued. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our kitchen sink repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why St John clients choose us

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • A fixed quote before booking

Landlord and trade work in St John

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

St John questions

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Can a chipped butler sink be fixed?

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

What affects the price in St John

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • The material

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire sink or cupboard door
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material

For a price in St John, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Doors where the vinyl wrap has lifted across a large area
