Kitchen Sink Repair for Bowthorpe homes
Kitchen sink repair in and around Bowthorpe: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Chipped door and drawer edges
- Chips in ceramic sinks
Landlords, agents and businesses in Bowthorpe
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Norfolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
How we handle kitchen sink repair in Bowthorpe
If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it usually needs re-wrapping; we fix chips, dents and local damage. Repairs are matched to the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. We regularly repair composite sinks, cabinet ends & plinths and gloss and matt cupboard doors, and people most often call us about chips in ceramic sinks and chipped door and drawer edges.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

Repairing versus replacing in Bowthorpe
A new 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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole sink or cupboard door
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
What we’re called out for in Bowthorpe

- Whether the price covers travel

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and prepared.
- Next we fill the chips and rebuild any edges.
- The repair is sanded to the original profile.
- We match the colour to the glaze or door.
- Finally we polish or seal it.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NR5 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
