How we handle kitchen sink repair in Gustard Wood
We repair the damage and match the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl generally need re-wrapping or replacing; we fix chips, dents and local damage. Typical jobs include dents and scuffs on cabinets and chips in ceramic sinks, across vinyl-wrapped doors, cabinet ends & plinths and composite sinks.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a sink or door can mean disturbing the worktop, cabinets and plumbing, or hunting for a door that is no longer made. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. 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. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

What else we do in Gustard Wood
What kitchen sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole sink or cupboard door
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire sink or cupboard door, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Gustard Wood

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
