Kitchen sink repair in East Malling, done in place

Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl typically need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. Repairs are matched to the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. Common call-outs are for chipped door and drawer edges and damage from fitting or moving appliances, in gloss and matt cupboard doors, cabinet ends & plinths and vinyl-wrapped doors.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not right for every job, including:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Should you replace it?

A new sink or door may mean disturbing the worktop and plumbing, or hunting for a door that is no longer made. Repairing it keeps your kitchen as it is. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for East Malling. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why choose Surface Doctor in East Malling

  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
