Kitchen sink repair at your home in Heaton
If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it typically needs re-wrapping; we repair chips and dents. Repairs are matched to the original finish, so you don’t need replacement parts. Whether it’s chipped door and drawer edges and chips in ceramic sinks, we can generally put it right, on vinyl-wrapped doors, composite sinks and cabinet ends & plinths alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and wipe door edges dry.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
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’re paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire sink or cupboard door
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire sink or cupboard door, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area.
- Chips are filled and edges rebuilt.
- We sand the repair to the original profile.
- The colour is matched to the sink or door finish.
- Finally we polish or seal it.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
