About our kitchen sink repair in Inch
Repairs are matched to the original finish, so you do not need replacement parts. If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it normally needs re-wrapping; we repair chips and dents. Common call-outs are for cracks around the waste and chips in ceramic sinks, in ceramic Belfast & butler sinks, cabinet ends & plinths and composite sinks.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and wipe door edges dry.

What kitchen sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Inch. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
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
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
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 price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
What we cannot put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Doors where the vinyl wrap has lifted across a large area
- Doors swollen by water
- Sinks cracked through the base
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Inch
- Gloss and matt cupboard doors
- Cabinet ends & plinths
- Ceramic Belfast & butler sinks
- Composite sinks
- Vinyl-wrapped doors
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new sink or door can mean disturbing the worktop, cabinets and plumbing, or hunting for a door that is no longer made. A repair keeps your kitchen as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Common questions in Inch
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Inch included. Travel is included in the price.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
