Kitchen sink repair in The Folly

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

About our kitchen sink repair in The Folly

Repairs are matched to the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it generally needs re-wrapping; we fix chips, dents and local damage. We work on cabinet ends & plinths, vinyl-wrapped doors and composite sinks, and people most often call us about damage from fitting or moving appliances and dents and scuffs on cabinets.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and wipe door edges dry.

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours.

  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. We match the colour to the glaze or door.
  5. Finally we polish or seal it.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access

What affects the price in The Folly

Common questions in The Folly

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
