Kitchen sink repair at your home in Mainsforth
Repairs are matched to the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl normally need re-wrapping or replacing; we fix chips, dents and local damage. Whether it’s damage from fitting or moving appliances and cracks around the waste, we can help, on gloss and matt cupboard doors, vinyl-wrapped doors and ceramic Belfast & butler sinks alike.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and wipe door edges dry.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
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 generally cheaper.
