Kitchen sink repair in Thorpe Bay

Kitchen sink repair in Thorpe Bay without replacing anything

We repair the damage and match the original finish, so you don’t need replacement parts. Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl normally need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. Whether it’s cracks around the waste and chips in ceramic sinks, we can help, on cabinet ends & plinths, ceramic Belfast & butler sinks and vinyl-wrapped doors alike.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and wipe door edges dry.

Thorpe Bay questions

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

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.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What does kitchen sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Should you replace it?

A new sink or door can mean disturbing the worktop, cabinets and plumbing, or hunting for a door that’s no longer made. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The process

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by preparing the damage.
  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. Finally we polish or seal it.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Get a quote

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the sink or cupboard door, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Advice

What kitchen sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
