Kitchen sink repair near Hockley

Kitchen sink repair in Hockley, done in place

Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl typically need re-wrapping or replacing; we fix chips, dents and local damage. We repair the damage and match the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. Common call-outs are for chipped door and drawer edges and damage from fitting or moving appliances, across ceramic Belfast & butler sinks, vinyl-wrapped doors and composite sinks.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and wipe door edges dry.

What kitchen sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire sink or cupboard door, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and prepared.
  2. We fill chips and rebuild edges.
  3. We sand the repair to the original profile.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze or door.
  5. Finally we polish or seal it.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Repairing versus replacing in Hockley

A new sink or door can mean disturbing the worktop, cabinets and plumbing, or finding a matching door that is been discontinued. Repairing it keeps your kitchen as it is. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why Hockley clients choose us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • No need to remove anything

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

When we would advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Doors where the vinyl wrap has lifted across a large area
  • Doors swollen by water
  • Sinks cracked through the base

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Cabinet ends & plinths
  • Gloss and matt cupboard doors
  • Vinyl-wrapped doors
  • Ceramic Belfast & butler sinks
  • Composite sinks
