Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kitchen sink repair at your home in Lower Caversham
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 fix chips, dents and local damage. If you are dealing with cracks around the waste and dents and scuffs on cabinets, we can help, whatever the material.
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.

Questions from Lower Caversham
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair cupboard doors?
Yes. We repair chips, dents and scuffs on most door finishes.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How we price kitchen sink repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
Most customers in Lower Caversham get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Doors where the vinyl wrap has lifted across a large area
- Doors swollen by water
- Sinks cracked through the base
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new sink or door can mean disturbing the worktop, cabinets and plumbing, or hunting for a door that is no longer made. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
