Kitchen sink repair in Kingston without replacing anything
Repairs are matched to the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it generally needs re-wrapping; we repair chips and dents. If you are dealing with damage from fitting or moving appliances and chips in ceramic sinks, we can help, on vinyl-wrapped doors, composite sinks and gloss and matt cupboard doors alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by preparing the damage.
- Chips are filled and edges rebuilt.
- The repair is sanded to the original profile.
- The colour is matched to the sink or door finish.
- Finally we polish or seal it.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Kingston questions
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can a chipped butler sink be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the rim, apron and around the waste are common repairs.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a sink or door may mean disturbing the worktop and plumbing, or finding a matching door that is been discontinued. Repairing it keeps your kitchen as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.
