How we handle kitchen sink repair in Newington
We repair the damage and match the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl usually need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. We work on ceramic Belfast & butler sinks, cabinet ends & plinths and gloss and matt cupboard doors, and the jobs we see most are damage from fitting or moving appliances and chipped door and drawer edges.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and wipe door edges dry.

Landlord and trade work in Newington

How we price kitchen sink repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a sink or door may mean disturbing the worktop and plumbing, or finding a matching door that is been discontinued. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

What else we do in Newington
What we cannot put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t 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
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Composite sinks
- Vinyl-wrapped doors
- Cabinet ends & plinths
- Gloss and matt cupboard doors
- Ceramic Belfast & butler sinks
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
