About our kitchen sink repair in Wantage

Repairs are matched to the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it normally needs re-wrapping; we repair chips and dents. Our repair technicians work on gloss and matt cupboard doors, cabinet ends & plinths and ceramic Belfast & butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are chipped door and drawer edges and cracks around the waste.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Wantage and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wantage as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

FAQs for Wantage

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes Wantage. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you fix kitchen doors?

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

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Wantage. The price reflects:

  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole sink or cupboard door
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Should you replace it?

A new sink or door may mean disturbing the worktop and plumbing, or hunting for a door that’s no longer made. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Common problems we fix in Wantage

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

The things clients typically mention when they call are:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Aftercare advice
  • What protection goes down before work starts
