How we handle kitchen sink repair in Abberton
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 repair chips and dents. If you are dealing with chipped door and drawer edges and dents and scuffs on cabinets, we can help.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a sink or door may mean disturbing the worktop and plumbing, or hunting for a door that is no longer made. Repairing it keeps your kitchen as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What kitchen sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire sink or cupboard door
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the sink or cupboard door, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
