DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

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.

Kitchen sink repair in Tebay without replacing anything

Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl normally need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. We repair the damage and match the original finish, so you do not need replacement parts. Whether it’s chipped door and drawer edges and damage from fitting or moving appliances, we can normally put it right.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures 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.

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We clean and prepare the damaged area.
  2. Chips are filled and edges rebuilt.
  3. We shape the repair to match the original.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze or door.
  5. The repair is polished or sealed.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire sink or cupboard door, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Repairing versus replacing in Tebay

A new sink or door can mean disturbing the worktop, cabinets and plumbing, or hunting for a door that is no longer made. 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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
