How we price kitchen sink repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire sink or cupboard door
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Higher Folds, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Doors where the vinyl wrap has lifted across a large area
- Doors swollen by water
- Sinks cracked through the base
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

- Next we fill the chips and rebuild any edges.
- The repair is sanded to the original profile.
- We colour-match to the sink glaze or door finish.
- The repair is polished or sealed.
