Trusted kitchen sink repair in Unthank

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and prepared.
  2. Chips are filled and edges rebuilt.
  3. We shape the repair to match the original.
  4. The colour is matched to the sink or door finish.
  5. The repair is polished or sealed.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting 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 will reply with a fixed quote.

Kitchen sink repair at your home in Unthank

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 the kitchen stays as it is. We work on gloss and matt cupboard doors, ceramic Belfast & butler sinks and cabinet ends & plinths, and the jobs we see most are chips in ceramic sinks and dents and scuffs on cabinets.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

What kitchen sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Unthank. What changes the price is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it

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’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Unthank

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Derbyshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What we’re called out for in Unthank

Ceramic sinks chip when pans and crockery are dropped, and cupboard doors get knocked by chairs, bins and vacuum cleaners.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Chipped door and drawer edges
  • Dents and scuffs on cabinets
  • Chips in ceramic sinks
  • Damage from fitting or moving appliances

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How to look after the finish
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a sink or door may mean disturbing the worktop and plumbing, or finding a matching door that’s been discontinued. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Unthank

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Most jobs done in one visit
