Trusted kitchen sink repair in Staple Tye

Kitchen sink repair at your home in Staple Tye

If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it usually needs re-wrapping; we repair chips and dents. Repairs are matched to the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. We regularly repair composite sinks, cabinet ends & plinths and ceramic Belfast & butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are damage from fitting or moving appliances and dents and scuffs on cabinets.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and wipe door edges dry.

Repairing versus replacing in Staple Tye

A new sink or door can mean disturbing the worktop, cabinets and plumbing, or finding a matching door that’s been discontinued. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Work done at your home or business
  • No need to remove anything
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What affects the price in Staple Tye

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
