Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Kitchen sink repair in Gremista, done in place
Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl usually need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. Repairs are matched to the original finish, so you don’t need replacement parts. We regularly repair composite sinks, gloss and matt cupboard doors and vinyl-wrapped doors, and people most frequently call us about chipped door and drawer edges and cracks around the waste.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

FAQs for Gremista
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
What does kitchen sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What affects the price in Gremista
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Gremista. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Most clients in Gremista get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a sink or door may mean disturbing the worktop and plumbing, or finding a matching door that’s been discontinued. A repair keeps your kitchen as it is. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
