Kitchen sink repair in Houghton-le-Side, done in place
Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl generally need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. We repair the damage and match the original finish, so you do not need replacement parts. Typical jobs include damage from fitting or moving appliances and chips in ceramic sinks, across gloss and matt cupboard doors, composite sinks and vinyl-wrapped doors.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and wipe door edges dry.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Houghton-le-Side. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the entire sink or cupboard door
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Houghton-le-Side questions
Is repairing better 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.
Do you work in Houghton-le-Side?
We do. We send a technician to Houghton-le-Side for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you fix kitchen doors?
Yes. Chips, dents and scuffs are repaired on most door finishes.

- First the damaged area is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill chips and rebuild 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.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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.
