Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
About our kitchen sink repair in Cargo
Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl typically need re-wrapping or replacing; we fix chips, dents and local damage. Repairs are matched to the original finish, so you don’t need replacement parts. Our repair technicians work on ceramic Belfast & butler sinks, gloss and matt cupboard doors and vinyl-wrapped doors, and common reasons people get in touch are chipped door and drawer edges and cracks around the waste.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Cargo and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and wipe door edges dry.

How we price kitchen sink repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole sink or cupboard door
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Repair or replace in Cargo?
Replacing a sink or door may mean disturbing the worktop and plumbing, or hunting for a door that’s no longer made. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our kitchen sink repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

The process
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by preparing the damage.
- We fill chips and rebuild edges.
- We shape the repair to match the original.
- We match the colour to the glaze or door.
- We polish or seal the repair.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

FAQs for Cargo
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Cumbria. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
What does kitchen sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your CA6 postcode.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
