About our kitchen sink repair in Abune-the-Hill

Repairs are matched to the original finish, so you do not need replacement parts. Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl typically need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. Whether it’s chips in ceramic sinks and damage from fitting or moving appliances, we can help, on ceramic Belfast & butler sinks, composite sinks and vinyl-wrapped doors alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and wipe door edges dry.

Choosing a repair company

What kitchen sink repair costs

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

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For a price in Abune-the-Hill, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Doors where the vinyl wrap has lifted across a large area
  • Doors swollen by water
  • Sinks cracked through the base

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Composite sinks
  • Ceramic Belfast & butler sinks
  • Cabinet ends & plinths
  • Vinyl-wrapped doors
  • Gloss and matt cupboard doors

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new sink or door can mean disturbing the worktop, cabinets and plumbing, or hunting for a door that is no longer made. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Abune-the-Hill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Work done at your home or business
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We clean and prepare the damaged area.
  2. Next we fill the chips and rebuild any edges.
  3. The repair is sanded to the original profile.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze or door.
  5. We polish or seal the repair.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
