Kitchen sink repair in Hungate without replacing anything
Repairs are matched to the original finish, so you don’t need replacement parts. If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it usually needs re-wrapping; we repair chips and dents. We are frequently asked to fix cracks around the waste and dents and scuffs on cabinets, across ceramic Belfast & butler sinks, composite sinks and vinyl-wrapped doors.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in York. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips are filled and edges rebuilt.
- We shape the repair to match the original.
- We match the colour to the glaze or door.
- Finally we polish or seal it.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
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.
Landlord and trade work in Hungate
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- One picture of the entire sink or cupboard door
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
