Kitchen sink repair in Magdalene, done in place
Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl normally need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. We repair the damage and match the original finish, so you don’t need replacement parts. Our repair technicians work on composite sinks, gloss and matt cupboard doors and ceramic Belfast & butler sinks, and common reasons people contact us are cracks around the waste and damage from fitting or moving appliances.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

The process
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by preparing the damage.
- We fill chips and rebuild edges.
- We shape the repair to match the original.
- The colour is matched to the sink or door finish.
- We polish or seal the repair.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Should you replace it?
Replacing a sink or door may mean disturbing the worktop and plumbing, or finding a matching door that is been discontinued. Repairing it keeps your kitchen as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Magdalene. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Doors where the vinyl wrap has lifted across a large area
- Doors swollen by water
- Sinks cracked through the base
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Gloss and matt cupboard doors
- Cabinet ends & plinths
- Vinyl-wrapped doors
- Composite sinks
- Ceramic Belfast & butler sinks

How we price kitchen sink repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire sink or cupboard door
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your EH15 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
