Kitchen sink repair at your home in Esh
Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl normally need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. Repairs are matched to the original finish, so you do not need replacement parts. Whether it’s dents and scuffs on cabinets and cracks around the waste, we can usually put it right.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We start by preparing the damage.
- 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.
How to prepare

What else we do in Esh
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What affects the price in Esh
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire sink or cupboard door
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Esh, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
