Kitchen sink repair at your home in Herne
If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it generally needs re-wrapping; we fix chips, dents and local damage. We repair the damage and match the original finish, so you don’t need replacement parts. We regularly repair vinyl-wrapped doors, composite sinks and cabinet ends & plinths, and the jobs we see most are chipped door and drawer edges and damage from fitting or moving appliances.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and wipe door edges dry.

What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and prepared.
- Next we fill the chips and rebuild any edges.
- We sand the repair to the original profile.
- We match the colour to the glaze or door.
- We polish or seal the repair.

- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How we price kitchen sink repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Herne. What changes the price is:
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
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 price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
