Dufton questions
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can a chipped butler sink be fixed?
Yes. We often repair chips on the rim, front and around the waste.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Dufton included. Travel is included in the price.
How we handle kitchen sink repair in Dufton
We repair the damage and match the original finish, so you do not need replacement parts. Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl typically need re-wrapping or replacing; we fix chips, dents and local damage. Whether it’s chipped door and drawer edges and cracks around the waste, we can help, whatever the material.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

What affects the price in Dufton
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Dufton. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A wider photo showing the entire sink or cupboard door
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cumbria and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- 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 you book.
What we work on
- Composite sinks
- Cabinet ends & plinths
- Vinyl-wrapped doors
- Ceramic Belfast & butler sinks
- Gloss and matt cupboard doors
