About our kitchen sink repair in Melmerby
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 normally needs re-wrapping; we fix chips, dents and local damage. If you’re dealing with cracks around the waste and dents and scuffs on cabinets, we can help.
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
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Melmerby: your questions answered
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you cover the entire of Cumbria?
Everywhere in the UK, Melmerby included. Travel is included in the price.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new sink or door can mean disturbing the worktop, cabinets and plumbing, or finding a matching door that’s been discontinued. A repair keeps your kitchen as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
