How we handle kitchen sink repair in Hourston
Repairs are matched to the original finish, so you don’t need replacement parts. If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it generally needs re-wrapping; we repair chips and dents. Whether it’s chipped door and drawer edges and dents and scuffs on cabinets, we can help, on ceramic Belfast & butler sinks, composite sinks and cabinet ends & plinths alike.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and wipe door edges dry.

What affects the price in Hourston
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole sink or cupboard door, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Common problems we fix in Hourston
Dropped pans chip ceramic sinks, while doors take knocks from bins, chairs and hoovers.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Cracks around the waste
- Chips in ceramic sinks
- Damage from fitting or moving appliances

What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who will actually do the work
- What preparation is included
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
