How we handle kitchen sink repair in Tingwall

Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl generally need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. We repair the damage and match the original finish, so you don’t need replacement parts. Common call-outs are for chipped door and drawer edges and cracks around the waste, on vinyl-wrapped doors, gloss and matt cupboard doors and ceramic Belfast & butler sinks.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and wipe door edges dry.

Tingwall questions

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can you repair cupboard doors?

Yes. Chips, dents and scuffs are repaired on gloss, matt and wood-effect doors.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Tingwall, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

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

Our hiring checklist

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. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a sink or door may mean disturbing the worktop and plumbing, or hunting for a door that’s no longer made. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • No need to remove anything

See our pricing.

What kitchen sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A wider photo showing the entire sink or cupboard door
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours.

  1. We start by preparing the damage.
  2. We fill chips and rebuild edges.
  3. We sand the repair to the original profile.
  4. The colour is matched to the sink or door finish.
  5. Finally we polish or seal it.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
