About our kitchen sink repair in Howe Green
Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl generally need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. Repairs are matched to the original finish, so you do not need replacement parts. Typical jobs include dents and scuffs on cabinets and cracks around the waste, across gloss and matt cupboard doors, vinyl-wrapped doors and ceramic Belfast & butler sinks.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and wipe door edges dry.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s 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 photos.
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.
How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by preparing the damage.
- Next we fill the chips and rebuild any edges.
- We sand the repair to the original profile.
- We match the colour to the glaze or door.
- We polish or seal the repair.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Questions from Howe Green
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can a chipped butler sink be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the rim, apron and around the waste are common repairs.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole sink or cupboard door
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
