The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, 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 how to care for it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and prepared.
- Next we fill the chips and rebuild any edges.
- The repair is sanded to the original profile.
- We colour-match to the sink glaze or door finish.
- Finally we polish or seal it.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Kitchen sink repair in Ellen's Glen, done in place

We repair the damage and match the original finish, so you don’t need replacement parts. If you’re dealing with chips in ceramic sinks and chipped door and drawer edges, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and wipe door edges dry.

FAQs for Ellen's Glen
How do I get a price for kitchen sink repair in Ellen's Glen?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, 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.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your EH17 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Repairing versus replacing in Ellen's Glen

What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
