How we handle kitchen sink repair in Canning Town
Repairs are matched to the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl usually need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. We regularly repair ceramic Belfast & butler sinks, vinyl-wrapped doors and gloss and matt cupboard doors, and people most frequently call us about damage from fitting or moving appliances and chips in ceramic sinks.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and wipe door edges dry.

- We fill chips and rebuild edges.
- The repair is sanded to the original profile.
- The colour is matched to the sink or door finish.
- The repair is polished or sealed.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your E16 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
If you manage property in Canning Town, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
