Kitchen sink repair at your home in Great Stainton
We repair the damage and match the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl typically need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. Our repair technicians work on cabinet ends & plinths, gloss and matt cupboard doors and vinyl-wrapped doors, and people most often call us about chips in ceramic sinks and cracks around the waste.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

Questions from Great Stainton
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We start by preparing the damage.
- We fill chips and rebuild edges.
- The repair is sanded to the original profile.
- We colour-match to the sink glaze or door finish.
- We polish or seal the repair.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a sink or door may mean disturbing the worktop and plumbing, or finding a matching door that’s been discontinued. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.
