How we handle kitchen sink repair in Kempe's Corner

If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it usually needs re-wrapping; we repair chips and dents. We repair the damage and match the original finish, so you don’t need replacement parts. Common call-outs are for chips in ceramic sinks and cracks around the waste, across vinyl-wrapped doors, composite sinks and gloss and matt cupboard doors.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A wider photo showing the whole sink or cupboard door
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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.

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

  • Gloss and matt cupboard doors
  • Composite sinks
  • Vinyl-wrapped doors
  • Ceramic Belfast & butler sinks
  • Cabinet ends & plinths

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We clean and prepare the damaged area.
  2. We fill chips and rebuild edges.
  3. We shape the repair to match the original.
  4. We colour-match to the sink glaze or door finish.
  5. The repair is polished or sealed.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
