Kitchen sink repair in Earl Soham without replacing anything

We repair the damage and match the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl generally need re-wrapping or replacing; we fix chips, dents and local damage. We are frequently asked to fix chips in ceramic sinks and chipped door and drawer edges, across cabinet ends & plinths, gloss and matt cupboard doors and ceramic Belfast & butler sinks.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and wipe door edges dry.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and prepared.
  2. Chips are filled and edges rebuilt.
  3. We shape the repair to match the original.
  4. We colour-match to the sink glaze or door finish.
  5. We polish or seal the repair.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Earl Soham. The price comes down to:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

What a repair cannot fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

  • Ceramic Belfast & butler sinks
  • Vinyl-wrapped doors
  • Gloss and matt cupboard doors
  • Cabinet ends & plinths
  • Composite sinks

  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

10 questions to ask before you book

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 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. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Questions from Earl Soham

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you repair cupboard doors?

Yes. Chips, dents and scuffs are repaired on gloss, matt and wood-effect doors.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Suffolk. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Can a chipped butler sink be fixed?

Yes. Chips to the rim, apron and around the waste are common repairs.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Earl Soham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a sink or door can mean disturbing the worktop, cabinets and plumbing, or finding a matching door that is been discontinued. Repairing it keeps your kitchen as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
