What affects the price in Thornton
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Thornton. The price comes down to:
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
How we handle kitchen sink repair in Thornton
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 repair chips and dents. Typical jobs include damage from fitting or moving appliances and chips in ceramic sinks, on gloss and matt cupboard doors, cabinet ends & plinths and vinyl-wrapped doors.
We guarantee the work for a year. 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.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a sink or door may mean disturbing the worktop and plumbing, or hunting for a door that is no longer made. A repair keeps your kitchen as it is. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Questions from Thornton
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Do you cover Thornton?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Thornton and the rest of Leicestershire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Thornton
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thornton use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area.
- Chips are filled and edges rebuilt.
- The repair is sanded to the original profile.
- We colour-match to the sink glaze or door finish.
- Finally we polish or seal it.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Get a quote
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire sink or cupboard door, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
