Kitchen sink repair in Whiddon Down

Kitchen sink repair in Whiddon Down without replacing anything

Repairs are matched to the original finish, so you don’t need replacement parts. If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it usually needs re-wrapping; we fix chips, dents and local damage. We work on ceramic Belfast & butler sinks, cabinet ends & plinths and vinyl-wrapped doors, and the jobs we see most are damage from fitting or moving appliances and dents and scuffs on cabinets.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

Whiddon Down questions

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Whiddon Down and the rest of Devon. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Do you fix kitchen doors?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Devon.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Whiddon Down. The price comes down to:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the whole sink or cupboard door
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and prepared.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
