Trusted kitchen sink repair in Durham

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by preparing the damage.
  2. Next we fill the chips and rebuild any edges.
  3. The repair is sanded to the original profile.
  4. The colour is matched to the sink or door finish.
  5. We polish or seal the repair.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

About our kitchen sink repair in Durham

Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl usually need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. We repair the damage and match the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. If you’re dealing with dents and scuffs on cabinets and damage from fitting or moving appliances, we can normally put it right.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and wipe door edges dry.

Choosing a repair company

How we price kitchen sink repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the sink or cupboard door, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Doors where the vinyl wrap has lifted across a large area
  • Doors swollen by water
  • Sinks cracked through the base

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 won’t last.
