How we handle kitchen sink repair in Old Durham
If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it generally needs re-wrapping; we repair chips and dents. We repair the damage and match the original finish, so you don’t need replacement parts. We regularly repair cabinet ends & plinths, ceramic Belfast & butler sinks and gloss and matt cupboard doors, and people most often call us about chipped door and drawer edges and dents and scuffs on cabinets.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill chips and rebuild edges.
- We shape the repair to match the original.
- The colour is matched to the sink or door finish.
- Finally we polish or seal it.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

What affects the price in Old Durham
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Old Durham. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire sink or cupboard door
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
