Kitchen sink repair in Mellis, done in place
Repairs are matched to 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 repair chips and dents. We regularly repair gloss and matt cupboard doors, ceramic Belfast & butler sinks and vinyl-wrapped doors, and people most often call us about damage from fitting or moving appliances and dents and scuffs on cabinets.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area.
- Chips are filled and edges rebuilt.
- The repair is sanded to the original profile.
- We colour-match to the sink glaze or door finish.
- The repair is polished or sealed.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.

What kitchen sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
FAQs for Mellis
How do I get a price for kitchen sink repair in Mellis?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Mellis included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
When to call us in Mellis
Ceramic sinks chip when pans and crockery are dropped, and cupboard doors get knocked by chairs, bins and vacuum cleaners.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Cracks around the waste
- Damage from fitting or moving appliances

- Chipped door and drawer edges
What your quote should include
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How the room is protected while they work
- When it can be used again
When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Doors where the vinyl wrap has lifted across a large area
- Doors swollen by water
- Sinks cracked through the base
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Composite sinks
- Cabinet ends & plinths
