What kitchen sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole sink or cupboard door
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole sink or cupboard door, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Kitchen sink repair in Farnham without replacing anything
Repairs are matched to the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it typically needs re-wrapping; we fix chips, dents and local damage. If you are dealing with damage from fitting or moving appliances and chips in ceramic sinks, we can normally put it right, on ceramic Belfast & butler sinks, composite sinks and vinyl-wrapped doors alike.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Farnham as everywhere else we work. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Farnham: your questions answered

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you quote from pictures?

Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you fix kitchen doors?
Yes. Chips, dents and scuffs are repaired on gloss, matt and wood-effect doors.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

We cover the entire UK, including Farnham and the rest of Suffolk. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
Can pets and children be at home?
