Kitchen drawer repaired so it slides smoothly again. Whether it's sticking, wonky, or completely jammed, I'll get it working properly.
### Stop Fighting With Your Drawers
Yanking the cutlery drawer open? Drawer that won't close properly? One that's completely given up and fallen off its runners? **Fix it** and your kitchen is usable again.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** If one drawer's sticking, check the others - if they're the same age, they're probably all wearing out. Fix them all now rather than one at a time.

What to Expect
### Step 1: Diagnose the Problem I'll pull the drawer out and see what's actually wrong - worn runners, damaged box, misalignment, or something stuck. ### Step 2: Fix What's Broken Might be fitting new runners, repairing a split drawer box, clearing an obstruction, or just adjusting the alignment. ### Step 3: Test Properly Open and close it several times with weight in it - you want smooth operation under normal use, not just when it's empty.

Good to Know
> 🎨 **Multiple problem drawers?** Fix them all in one visit. Once I've got the van there and worked out what's needed, doing extra drawers is much quicker. **Drawer won't open at all?** Don't force it - you'll break the front off. Sometimes you can reach behind and push whatever's jamming it out of the way. Or I can take the adjacent drawer out to access it. **Old wooden runners completely worn?** I can fit modern metal runners to old kitchens. Works brilliantly and lasts for years. Gives old cupboards a new lease of life.
Frequently Asked Questions about Kitchen drawer fix in Sidmouth
What causes kitchen drawers to stick or break?
Usually worn runners, bent tracks, or the drawer box has warped. Sometimes something's fallen down the back and is jamming it. Or in older kitchens, the wooden runners have just worn smooth. Takes about 20 minutes to diagnose and fix most issues.
Can you fix drawers in older kitchen units?
Yes - that's actually where most drawer problems are. Older kitchens often have wooden runners that wear out, or metal runners that rust. I can fit new runners, repair the drawer box if it's split, or adjust everything back to smooth operation.
Do I need to buy replacement runners myself?
Depends what's wrong. If it just needs adjusting or lubricating, no parts needed. If runners are shot, I can advise on what to get or pick them up from the merchant - most standard runners are £5-15 a pair.
How long does fixing a drawer take?
Usually 20-30 minutes per drawer. Might be quicker if it just needs adjusting, bit longer if runners need replacing or the drawer box needs repair. I'll know once I've had a look.
Is it worth repairing or should I just replace the kitchen?
Drawer repair is definitely worth it - way cheaper than a new kitchen! A £60 fix versus thousands for replacement units. Most drawer problems are simple to sort, and once fixed they'll last years more.
