Kitchen sink repair in Cotes, done in place
Repairs are matched to the original finish, so you don’t need replacement parts. If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it normally needs re-wrapping; we fix chips, dents and local damage. We regularly repair composite sinks, ceramic Belfast & butler sinks and vinyl-wrapped doors, and people most often call us about chipped door and drawer edges and chips in ceramic sinks.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips are filled and edges rebuilt.
- We shape the repair to match the original.
- We colour-match to the sink glaze or door finish.
- Finally we polish or seal it.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Should you replace it?
Replacing a sink or door may mean disturbing the worktop and plumbing, or finding a matching door that’s been discontinued. Repairing it keeps your kitchen as it is. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Can I fix it myself?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Common questions in Cotes
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole sink or cupboard door and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can a chipped butler sink be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the rim, apron and around the waste are common repairs.
What does kitchen sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your LA8 postcode.
What affects the price in Cotes
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole sink or cupboard door
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
