Prices and what affects them

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For a price in Harlow, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
About our kitchen sink repair in Harlow
If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it generally needs re-wrapping; we repair chips and dents. Repairs are matched to the original finish, so you don’t need replacement parts. If you are dealing with dents and scuffs on cabinets and chips in ceramic sinks, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and dry the door edges after spills.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- 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.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
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.
