Kitchen sink repair in Arniston, done in place
Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl typically need re-wrapping or replacing; we fix chips, dents and local damage. We repair the damage and match the original finish, so you do not need replacement parts. If you’re dealing with cracks around the waste and chipped door and drawer edges, we can generally put it right, on gloss and matt cupboard doors, composite sinks and cabinet ends & plinths alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and wipe door edges dry.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a sink or door can mean disturbing the worktop, cabinets and plumbing, or hunting for a door that is no longer made. Repairing it keeps your kitchen as it is. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How we price kitchen sink repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your EH23 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We start by preparing the damage.
- Chips are filled and edges rebuilt.
- We shape the repair to match the original.
- We match the colour to the glaze or door.
- The repair is polished or sealed.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Arniston: your questions answered
What does kitchen sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Are there extra charges for Arniston?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you repair cupboard doors?
Yes. We repair chips, dents and scuffs on gloss, matt and wood-effect doors.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
