Kitchen sink repair at your home in Little Thorpe
We repair the damage and match the original finish, so you don’t need replacement parts. If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it usually needs re-wrapping; we repair chips and dents. We work on cabinet ends & plinths, ceramic Belfast & butler sinks and vinyl-wrapped doors, and people most frequently call us about chipped door and drawer edges and damage from fitting or moving appliances.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and wipe door edges dry.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What affects the price in Little Thorpe
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Little Thorpe. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole sink or cupboard door
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Repair or replace in Little Thorpe?
A new sink or door may mean disturbing the worktop and plumbing, or finding a matching door that’s been discontinued. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Questions from Little Thorpe
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do you work in Little Thorpe?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Little Thorpe and the rest of County Durham. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
