DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Kitchen sink repair in Middle Herrington without replacing anything
Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl normally need re-wrapping or replacing; we fix chips, dents and local damage. Repairs are matched to the original finish, so you do not need replacement parts. Our repair technicians work on cabinet ends & plinths, ceramic Belfast & butler sinks and composite sinks, and people most frequently call us about chipped door and drawer edges and cracks around the waste.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. 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.

What affects the price in Middle Herrington
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Middle Herrington. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.
- We start by preparing the damage.
- Chips are filled and edges rebuilt.
- We shape the repair to match the original.
- The colour is matched to the sink or door finish.
- Finally we polish or seal it.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Middle Herrington, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
