About our kitchen sink repair in Cranbrook
Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl usually need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. Repairs are matched to the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. If you are dealing with cracks around the waste and chips in ceramic sinks, we can normally put it right, on gloss and matt cupboard doors, cabinet ends & plinths and composite sinks alike.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Cranbrook and across Kent. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Repair or replace: which is better?
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 keeps your kitchen as it is. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Cranbrook
- One visit for most repairs
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

Cranbrook: your questions answered
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you repair a chipped Belfast sink?
Yes. Chips to the rim, apron and around the waste are common repairs.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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 will not last.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What affects the price in Cranbrook
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole sink or cupboard door
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Most clients in Cranbrook get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
