Kitchen sink repair in Howes without replacing anything
If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it generally needs re-wrapping; we repair chips and dents. Repairs are matched to the original finish, so you do not need replacement parts. We work on gloss and matt cupboard doors, vinyl-wrapped doors and cabinet ends & plinths, and common reasons people contact us are damage from fitting or moving appliances and chips in ceramic sinks.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and wipe door edges dry.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Common problems we fix in Howes

What else we do in Howes
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
What affects the price in Howes
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Howes. The price comes down to:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire sink or cupboard door
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the sink or cupboard door, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
The process
When we visit, 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 are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by preparing the damage.
- Next we fill the chips and rebuild any edges.
- The repair is sanded to the original profile.
- We match the colour to the glaze or door.
- The repair is polished or sealed.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the area is dry
Getting a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
