What affects the price in Hawthorn
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Hawthorn. The price reflects:
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hawthorn. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire sink or cupboard door
- Where you are, by postcode
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the sink or cupboard door, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
How we handle kitchen sink repair in Hawthorn
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 usually needs re-wrapping; we repair chips and dents. Our repair technicians work on ceramic Belfast & butler sinks, cabinet ends & plinths and composite sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are dents and scuffs on cabinets 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 you book. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and wipe door edges dry.

Hawthorn questions
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What does kitchen sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CT6 postcode.
Can you repair a chipped Belfast sink?
Yes. Chips to the rim, apron and around the waste are common repairs.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Hawthorn.
