How we handle kitchen sink repair in Cathays
Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl normally need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. Repairs are matched to the original finish, so you don’t need replacement parts. We regularly repair composite sinks, vinyl-wrapped doors and cabinet ends & plinths, and the jobs we see most are chips in ceramic sinks and dents and scuffs on cabinets.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and wipe door edges dry.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a sink or door can mean disturbing the worktop, cabinets and plumbing, or finding a matching door that’s been discontinued. A repair leaves everything in place. Our kitchen sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Doors where the vinyl wrap has lifted across a large area
- Doors swollen by water
- Sinks cracked through the base
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Cabinet ends & plinths
- Composite sinks
- Vinyl-wrapped doors
- Ceramic Belfast & butler sinks
- Gloss and matt cupboard doors
How we price kitchen sink repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Cathays. The price reflects:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area.
- We fill chips and rebuild edges.
- The repair is sanded to the original profile.
- We match the colour to the glaze or door.
- We polish or seal the repair.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Your questions about kitchen sink repair in Cathays
Are there extra charges for Cathays?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you repair a chipped Belfast sink?
Yes. Chips to the rim, apron and around the waste are common repairs.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you repair cupboard doors?
Yes. We repair chips, dents and scuffs on gloss, matt and wood-effect doors.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
