About our kitchen sink repair in Gravesend
Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl normally need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. We repair the damage and match the original finish, so you do not need replacement parts. We regularly repair vinyl-wrapped doors, composite sinks and gloss and matt cupboard doors, and the jobs we see most are chipped door and drawer edges and chips in ceramic sinks.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gravesend
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.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Common questions in Gravesend
Can a chipped butler sink be fixed?
Yes. We frequently repair chips on the rim, front and around the waste.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Do you cover the entire of Hertfordshire?
Everywhere in the UK, Gravesend included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
What affects the price in Gravesend
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
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.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Doors where the vinyl wrap has lifted across a large area
- Doors swollen by water
- Sinks cracked through the base
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic Belfast & butler sinks
