Kitchen Sink Repair for Austerlands homes
Problem with your sink or cupboard door in Austerlands? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Dents and scuffs on cabinets
- Chips in ceramic sinks
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
About our kitchen sink repair in Austerlands
We repair the damage and match the original finish, so you don’t need replacement parts. Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl usually need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. Our repair technicians work on vinyl-wrapped doors, ceramic Belfast & butler sinks and cabinet ends & plinths, and people most often call us about chips in ceramic sinks and chipped door and drawer edges.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and wipe door edges dry.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by preparing the damage.
- We fill chips and rebuild edges.
- We sand the repair to the original profile.
- The colour is matched to the sink or door finish.
- We polish or seal the repair.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

What kitchen sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire sink or cupboard door
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Doors where the vinyl wrap has lifted across a large area
- Doors swollen by water
- Sinks cracked through the base
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair

Common questions in Austerlands
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
