Kitchen sink repair in East Kyo without replacing anything
Repairs are matched to the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl usually need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. We work on vinyl-wrapped doors, ceramic Belfast & butler sinks and gloss and matt cupboard doors, and people most frequently call us about chips in ceramic sinks and damage from fitting or moving appliances.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and wipe door edges dry.

What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area.
- Next we fill the chips and rebuild any edges.
- The repair is sanded to the original profile.
- We match the colour to the glaze or door.
- Finally we polish or seal it.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Doors where the vinyl wrap has lifted across a large area
- Doors swollen by water
- Sinks cracked through the base
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Gloss and matt cupboard doors
- Vinyl-wrapped doors

Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in East Kyo as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new sink or door can mean disturbing the worktop, cabinets and plumbing, or hunting for a door that is no longer made. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our kitchen sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
