Kitchen sink repair at your home in Frating
Repairs are matched to the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it normally needs re-wrapping; we repair chips and dents. Common call-outs are for chipped door and drawer edges and dents and scuffs on cabinets, in gloss and matt cupboard doors, composite sinks and vinyl-wrapped doors.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Frating. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by preparing the damage.
- We fill chips and rebuild edges.
- We sand the repair to the original profile.
- The colour is matched to the sink or door finish.
- We polish or seal the repair.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Frating: your questions answered
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can a chipped butler sink be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the rim, apron and around the waste are common repairs.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
What does kitchen sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new sink or door can mean disturbing the worktop, cabinets and plumbing, or finding a matching door that is been discontinued. Repairing it keeps your kitchen as it is. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
