About our kitchen sink repair in Hesleden
We repair the damage and match the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it typically needs re-wrapping; we fix chips, dents and local damage. If you are dealing with chipped door and drawer edges and dents and scuffs on cabinets, we can generally put it right, on vinyl-wrapped doors, ceramic Belfast & butler sinks and gloss and matt cupboard doors alike.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Hesleden as everywhere else we work. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

How we price kitchen sink repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole sink or cupboard door
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole sink or cupboard door, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Hesleden questions
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across County Durham.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you repair a chipped Belfast sink?
Yes. We often repair chips on the rim, front and around the waste.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new sink or door can mean disturbing the worktop, cabinets and plumbing, or hunting for a door that’s no longer made. A repair keeps your kitchen as it is. Prices start from £95. 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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
