Kitchen sink repair in Houbie without replacing anything
Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl usually need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. We repair the damage and match the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. We regularly repair ceramic Belfast & butler sinks, vinyl-wrapped doors and cabinet ends & plinths, and the jobs we see most are dents and scuffs on cabinets and chips in ceramic sinks.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and wipe door edges dry.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Houbie. The price depends on:
- The material
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the sink or cupboard door, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Houbie: your questions answered
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
How do I get a price for kitchen sink repair in Houbie?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

What we do, step by step

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
