Kitchen sink repair in Grays without replacing anything
If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it normally needs re-wrapping; we fix chips, dents and local damage. Repairs are matched to the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. Common call-outs are for chips in ceramic sinks and chipped door and drawer edges, on ceramic Belfast & butler sinks, composite sinks and gloss and matt cupboard doors.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Grays as everywhere else we work. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and dry the door edges after spills.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What we cannot put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- 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 will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Cabinet ends & plinths
- Gloss and matt cupboard doors
- Ceramic Belfast & butler sinks
- Composite sinks
- Vinyl-wrapped doors
What kitchen sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the entire sink or cupboard door
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Grays: your questions answered
Can you repair a chipped Belfast sink?
Yes. We often repair chips on the rim, front and around the waste.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s 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 most door finishes.
Are there extra charges for Grays?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How much does kitchen sink repair cost in Grays?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For anyone letting property in or around Grays, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
