Kitchen sink repair in Melbourne, done in place
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 fix chips, dents and local damage. Our repair technicians work on cabinet ends & plinths, composite sinks and vinyl-wrapped doors, and people most frequently call us about dents and scuffs on cabinets and cracks around the waste.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Melbourne
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the sink or cupboard door, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Common questions in Melbourne
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
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 quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
How do I get a price for kitchen sink repair in Melbourne?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
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. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you cover Melbourne?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Melbourne from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can a chipped butler sink be fixed?
Yes. We often repair chips on the rim, front and around the waste.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Repair or replace in Melbourne?
Replacing a sink or door can mean disturbing the worktop, cabinets and plumbing, or hunting for a door that is no longer made. Repairing it keeps your kitchen as it is. Our kitchen sink repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
