About our kitchen sink repair in Takeley Street

If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it normally needs re-wrapping; we fix chips, dents and local damage. We repair the damage and match the original finish, so you don’t need replacement parts. Typical jobs include cracks around the waste and dents and scuffs on cabinets, on cabinet ends & plinths, ceramic Belfast & butler sinks and composite sinks.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

  • Sinks cracked through the base

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

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean and prepare the damaged area.
  2. Next we fill the chips and rebuild any edges.
  3. We sand the repair to the original profile.
  4. We colour-match to the sink glaze or door finish.
  5. Finally we polish or seal it.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Questions from Takeley Street

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Takeley Street.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can a chipped butler sink be fixed?

Yes. Chips to the rim, apron and around the waste are common repairs.

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What affects the price in Takeley Street

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Takeley Street. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Takeley Street, and we will reply with a fixed price.
