Kitchen sink repair in Wapping

Kitchen sink repair in Wapping without replacing anything

Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl generally need re-wrapping or replacing; we fix chips, dents and local damage. We repair the damage and match the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. Common call-outs are for damage from fitting or moving appliances and cracks around the waste, in cabinet ends & plinths, ceramic Belfast & butler sinks and composite sinks.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

10 questions to ask before booking

Common questions in Wapping

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do you fix kitchen doors?

Yes. Chips, dents and scuffs are repaired on most door finishes.

Can you repair a chipped Belfast sink?

Yes. Chips to the rim, apron and around the waste are common repairs.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We start by preparing the damage.
  2. Chips are filled and edges rebuilt.
  3. We sand the repair to the original profile.
  4. We colour-match to the sink glaze or door finish.
  5. Finally we polish or seal it.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Wapping, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
