About our kitchen sink repair in Clapham
We repair the damage and match 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 fix chips, dents and local damage. We regularly repair cabinet ends & plinths, vinyl-wrapped doors and ceramic Belfast & butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are chips in ceramic sinks and dents and scuffs on cabinets.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and wipe door edges dry.

Clapham questions
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can you repair a chipped Belfast sink?
Yes. Chips to the rim, apron and around the waste are common repairs.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Greater London. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We start by preparing the damage.
- Next we fill the chips and rebuild any edges.
- The repair is sanded to the original profile.
- We colour-match to the sink glaze or door finish.
- Finally we polish or seal it.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
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’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Every address in SW4, SW8 and SW9 is covered. Whether you live on Grafton Square, Clapham High Street and Houghton Square or anywhere nearby, a technician can come to you.

Nearby too are The Bread and Roses pub (under half a mile south-east), Trinity Academy (1 mile south-east) and Larkhall Park (0.5 miles north-east).

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- 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’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Gloss and matt cupboard doors
- Composite sinks
- Cabinet ends & plinths
- Ceramic Belfast & butler sinks
- Vinyl-wrapped doors

What else we do in Clapham
Landlords, agents and businesses in Clapham
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What affects the price in Clapham
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire sink or cupboard door
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SW4 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
