Kitchen sink repair in Thorney Close without replacing anything
If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it typically needs re-wrapping; we fix chips, dents and local damage. We repair the damage and match the original finish, so you do not need replacement parts. Common call-outs are for chips in ceramic sinks and dents and scuffs on cabinets, in vinyl-wrapped doors, ceramic Belfast & butler sinks and gloss and matt cupboard doors.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and wipe door edges dry.

Questions from Thorney Close
Do you fix kitchen doors?
Yes. We repair chips, dents and scuffs on most door finishes.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you cover the whole of Sunderland?
Across the UK, so Thorney Close is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Do you come to Thorney Close?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Thorney Close and the rest of Sunderland. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
