Kitchen sink repair at your home in Heddle
Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl generally need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. We repair the damage and match the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. Whether it’s chips in ceramic sinks and cracks around the waste, we can normally put it right.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

What affects the price in Heddle
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole sink or cupboard door
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
When to call us in Heddle

These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Chips in ceramic sinks
- Dents and scuffs on cabinets
- Chipped door and drawer edges
- Damage from fitting or moving appliances

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new sink or door can mean disturbing the worktop, cabinets and plumbing, or finding a matching door that’s been discontinued. Repairing it keeps your kitchen as it is. Prices start from £95. 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. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Common questions in Heddle
Do you come to Heddle?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Heddle from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What happens after I send pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What we can’t put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- 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 you book.
What we work on
- Composite sinks
- Ceramic Belfast & butler sinks
- Cabinet ends & plinths
- Vinyl-wrapped doors
- Gloss and matt cupboard doors
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill chips and rebuild edges.
- We sand the repair to the original profile.
- We colour-match to the sink glaze or door finish.
- The repair is polished or sealed.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
Most clients in Heddle 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.
