Kitchen sink repair in New Silksworth without replacing anything
If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it normally needs re-wrapping; we repair chips and dents. Repairs are matched to the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. If you’re dealing with dents and scuffs on cabinets and cracks around the waste, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in New Silksworth use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What affects the price in New Silksworth
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire sink or cupboard door
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
When to call us in New Silksworth
Ceramic sinks chip when pans and crockery are dropped, while doors take knocks from bins, chairs and hoovers.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chipped door and drawer edges
- Dents and scuffs on cabinets
- Chips in ceramic sinks
- Damage from fitting or moving appliances
What your quote should include
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How to look after the finish
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
