About our kitchen sink repair in Cathedral Quarter
If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it usually needs re-wrapping; we repair chips and dents. We repair the damage and match the original finish, so you do not need replacement parts. Typical jobs include damage from fitting or moving appliances and chipped door and drawer edges, across gloss and matt cupboard doors, composite sinks and ceramic Belfast & butler sinks.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and wipe door edges dry.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new sink or door can mean disturbing the worktop, cabinets and plumbing, or hunting for a door that’s no longer made. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
