What kitchen sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Dovenby. What changes the price is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
If you’re in Dovenby and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
About our kitchen sink repair in Dovenby
Repairs are matched to the original finish, so you don’t need replacement parts. Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl generally need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. Whether it’s damage from fitting or moving appliances and cracks around the waste, we can normally put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

Dovenby: your questions answered
Do you cover Dovenby?
We do. We send a technician to Dovenby for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you quote from photos?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire sink or cupboard door and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
