About our kitchen sink repair in Lumley Thicks
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 chips in ceramic sinks and dents and scuffs on cabinets, in vinyl-wrapped doors, gloss and matt cupboard doors and cabinet ends & plinths.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Lumley Thicks and across Sunderland. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and wipe door edges dry.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Repairing versus replacing in Lumley Thicks
A new sink or door can mean disturbing the worktop, cabinets and plumbing, or hunting for a door that’s no longer made. A repair keeps your kitchen as it is. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
