About our kitchen sink repair in Lawford
Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl typically need re-wrapping or replacing; we fix chips, dents and local damage. We repair the damage and match the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. Our repair technicians work on ceramic Belfast & butler sinks, vinyl-wrapped doors and composite sinks, and people most frequently call us about cracks around the waste and dents and scuffs on cabinets.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and wipe door edges dry.

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire sink or cupboard door and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Doors where the vinyl wrap has lifted across a large area
- Doors swollen by water
- Sinks cracked through the base
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Gloss and matt cupboard doors
- Composite sinks
- Cabinet ends & plinths
- Vinyl-wrapped doors
- Ceramic Belfast & butler sinks
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by preparing the damage.
- We fill chips and rebuild edges.
- The repair is sanded to the original profile.
- We match the colour to the glaze or door.
- The repair is polished or sealed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
