Kitchen sink repair in St Stephens

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire sink or cupboard door

If you are in St Stephens and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Kitchen sink repair at your home in St Stephens

If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it normally needs re-wrapping; we repair chips and dents. Repairs are matched to the original finish, so you don’t need replacement parts. Common call-outs are for chips in ceramic sinks and dents and scuffs on cabinets, on vinyl-wrapped doors, ceramic Belfast & butler sinks and composite sinks.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and wipe door edges dry.

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by preparing the damage.
  2. Next we fill the chips and rebuild any edges.
  3. We sand the repair to the original profile.
  4. The colour is matched to the sink or door finish.
  5. The repair is polished or sealed.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

  • Gloss and matt cupboard doors
  • Composite sinks
  • Vinyl-wrapped doors
  • Cabinet ends & plinths
  • Ceramic Belfast & butler sinks
