About our kitchen sink repair in Lauriston
Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl usually need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. Repairs are matched to the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. Common call-outs are for chipped door and drawer edges and damage from fitting or moving appliances, in gloss and matt cupboard doors, vinyl-wrapped doors and cabinet ends & plinths.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and wipe door edges dry.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
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.
Should you replace it?
A new sink or door may mean disturbing the worktop and plumbing, or finding a matching door that’s been discontinued. Repairing it keeps your kitchen as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
Why book with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
