How we price kitchen sink repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your ML12 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Kitchen sink repair at your home in Candy Mill
Repairs are matched to the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl normally need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. We work on gloss and matt cupboard doors, composite sinks and ceramic Belfast & butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are cracks around the waste and damage from fitting or moving appliances.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
