What kitchen sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the whole sink or cupboard door
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Kitchen sink repair in Athelstaneford without replacing anything

Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl generally need re-wrapping or replacing; we fix chips, dents and local damage. We repair the damage and match the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. If you are dealing with cracks around the waste and damage from fitting or moving appliances, we can help, on ceramic Belfast & butler sinks, composite sinks and gloss and matt cupboard doors alike.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and wipe door edges dry.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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