Kitchen sink repair in Burnhope, done in place
Repairs are matched to the original finish, so you don’t need replacement parts. Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl generally need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. We regularly repair composite sinks, gloss and matt cupboard doors and cabinet ends & plinths, and people most often call us about dents and scuffs on cabinets and damage from fitting or moving appliances.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and wipe door edges dry.

How we price kitchen sink repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Burnhope. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Questions from Burnhope
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Are there extra charges for Burnhope?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
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.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can a chipped butler sink be fixed?
Yes. We frequently repair chips on the rim, front and around the waste.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by preparing the damage.
- Next we fill the chips and rebuild any edges.
- We shape the repair to match the original.
- We match the colour to the glaze or door.
- Finally we polish or seal it.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Burnhope, and we will reply with a fixed price.
