Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
About our kitchen sink repair in Gawthrop
We repair the damage and match the original finish, so you do not need replacement parts. Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl generally need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. Common call-outs are for damage from fitting or moving appliances and chipped door and drawer edges, on composite sinks, gloss and matt cupboard doors and ceramic Belfast & butler sinks.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cumbria. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and wipe door edges dry.

What affects the price in Gawthrop
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Gawthrop. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Doors where the vinyl wrap has lifted across a large area
- Doors swollen by water
- Sinks cracked through the base
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Repairing versus replacing in Gawthrop
A new sink or door can mean disturbing the worktop, cabinets and plumbing, or hunting for a door that is no longer made. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area.
- Next we fill the chips and rebuild any edges.
- The repair is sanded to the original profile.
- The colour is matched to the sink or door finish.
- Finally we polish or seal it.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your LA10 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
