Kitchen sink repair at your home in Gattonside
If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it usually needs re-wrapping; we fix chips, dents and local damage. We repair the damage and match the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. Common call-outs are for chips in ceramic sinks and damage from fitting or moving appliances, on gloss and matt cupboard doors, composite sinks and cabinet ends & plinths.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

What kitchen sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
