How we handle kitchen sink repair in Downgate
Repairs are matched to the original finish, so you do not need replacement parts. Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl normally need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. Typical jobs include chipped door and drawer edges and chips in ceramic sinks, across cabinet ends & plinths, composite sinks and ceramic Belfast & butler sinks.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and wipe door edges dry.

Repairing versus replacing in Downgate
Replacing a sink or door may mean disturbing the worktop and plumbing, or finding a matching door that’s been discontinued. A repair keeps your kitchen as it is. Our kitchen sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What affects the price in Downgate
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Downgate. What changes the price is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire sink or cupboard door
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 often lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
How the visit works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by preparing the damage.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
