About our kitchen sink repair in Highstead
We repair the damage and match the original finish, so you do not need replacement parts. If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it generally needs re-wrapping; we fix chips, dents and local damage. Our technicians work on cabinet ends & plinths, vinyl-wrapped doors and composite sinks, and the jobs we see most are dents and scuffs on cabinets and chipped door and drawer edges.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Highstead and across Kent. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and wipe door edges dry.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and prepared.
- Next we fill the chips and rebuild any edges.
- We shape the repair to match the original.
- We colour-match to the sink glaze or door finish.
- The repair is polished or sealed.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the area is dry

Highstead: your questions answered
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you cover Highstead?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Highstead. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you repair a chipped Belfast sink?
Yes. We frequently repair chips on the rim, front and around the waste.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a sink or door may mean disturbing the worktop and plumbing, or finding a matching door that’s been discontinued. A repair keeps your kitchen as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

- How many areas need work
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
