- Chips in ceramic sinks
- Damage from fitting or moving appliances
How we price kitchen sink repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Great Waltham. The price depends on:
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire sink or cupboard door
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Kitchen sink repair in Great Waltham without replacing anything
We repair the damage and match the original finish, so you do not need replacement parts. If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it normally needs re-wrapping; we repair chips and dents. We are often asked to fix cracks around the waste and chips in ceramic sinks, on gloss and matt cupboard doors, composite sinks and ceramic Belfast & butler sinks.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.
- We start by preparing the damage.
- We fill chips and rebuild edges.
- We sand the repair to the original profile.
- We match the colour to the glaze or door.
- Finally we polish or seal it.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. 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.

FAQs for Great Waltham
Can you repair a chipped Belfast sink?
Yes. We frequently repair chips on the rim, front and around the waste.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
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.

Should you replace it?
A new sink or door can mean disturbing the worktop, cabinets and plumbing, or hunting for a door that’s no longer made. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.
