Trusted kitchen sink repair in Unthank

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Doors where the vinyl wrap has lifted across a large area
  • Doors swollen by water
  • Sinks cracked through the base

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Cabinet ends & plinths
  • Gloss and matt cupboard doors
  • Composite sinks
  • Vinyl-wrapped doors
  • Ceramic Belfast & butler sinks

Kitchen sink repair in Unthank, done in place

Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl normally need re-wrapping or replacing; we fix chips, dents and local damage. Repairs are matched to the original finish, so you do not need replacement parts. Whether it’s chips in ceramic sinks and chipped door and drawer edges, we can help, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and wipe door edges dry.

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 generally cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What affects the price in Unthank

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire sink or cupboard door
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole sink or cupboard door, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We clean and prepare the damaged area.
  2. Chips are filled and edges rebuilt.
  3. We shape the repair to match the original.
  4. We colour-match to the sink glaze or door finish.
  5. We polish or seal the repair.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
