Questions from Ilam
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you fix kitchen doors?
Yes. We repair chips, dents and scuffs on most door finishes.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
How we handle kitchen sink repair in Ilam
Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl generally need re-wrapping or replacing; we fix chips, dents and local damage. We repair the damage and match the original finish, so you don’t need replacement parts. We work on cabinet ends & plinths, gloss and matt cupboard doors and vinyl-wrapped doors, and the jobs we see most are chipped door and drawer edges and cracks around the waste.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and wipe door edges dry.

The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by preparing the damage.
- Chips are filled and edges rebuilt.
- We shape the repair to match the original.
- The colour is matched to the sink or door finish.
- The repair is polished or sealed.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: 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 quote, not a guess.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole sink or cupboard door
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Repairing versus replacing in Ilam
A new sink or door can mean disturbing the worktop, cabinets and plumbing, or finding a matching door that is been discontinued. A repair keeps your kitchen as it is. Our kitchen sink repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Ilam
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
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.
