DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Kitchen sink repair at your home in Keyham
We repair the damage and match the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl generally need re-wrapping or replacing; we fix chips, dents and local damage. We’re frequently asked to fix chips in ceramic sinks and damage from fitting or moving appliances, across gloss and matt cupboard doors, ceramic Belfast & butler sinks and cabinet ends & plinths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

How we price kitchen sink repair
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Keyham. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the sink or cupboard door, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Should you replace it?
A new sink or door can mean disturbing the worktop, cabinets and plumbing, or hunting for a door that’s no longer made. Repairing it keeps your kitchen as it is. Our kitchen sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
