About our kitchen sink repair in Dunston
If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it generally needs re-wrapping; we fix chips, dents and local damage. Repairs are matched to the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. Whether it’s chipped door and drawer edges and cracks around the waste, we can help, on ceramic Belfast & butler sinks, composite sinks and cabinet ends & plinths alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and wipe door edges dry.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Doors where the vinyl wrap has lifted across a large area
- Doors swollen by water
- Sinks cracked through the base
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Cabinet ends & plinths

What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips are filled and edges rebuilt.
- We sand the repair to the original profile.
- We colour-match to the sink glaze or door finish.
- The repair is polished or sealed.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

How we price kitchen sink repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire sink or cupboard door
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
