Kitchen sink repair in Humbie without replacing anything
Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl typically need re-wrapping or replacing; we fix chips, dents and local damage. Repairs are matched to the original finish, so you don’t need replacement parts. We are often asked to fix dents and scuffs on cabinets and chipped door and drawer edges, across composite sinks, cabinet ends & plinths and gloss and matt cupboard doors.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

How we price kitchen sink repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One picture of the entire sink or cupboard door
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area.
- Chips are filled and edges rebuilt.
- We sand the repair to the original profile.
- We match the colour to the glaze or door.
- The repair is polished or sealed.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Humbie: your questions answered
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Humbie, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Humbie as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a sink or door may mean disturbing the worktop and plumbing, or finding a matching door that is been discontinued. A repair keeps your kitchen as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
