Why repair rather than replace?
A new sink or door can mean disturbing the worktop, cabinets and plumbing, or hunting for a door that is no longer made. A repair keeps your kitchen as it is. Our kitchen sink repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How we handle kitchen sink repair in Old Hawkinge
We repair the damage and match the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl generally need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. Common call-outs are for damage from fitting or moving appliances and cracks around the waste, in ceramic Belfast & butler sinks, cabinet ends & plinths and vinyl-wrapped doors.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area.
- We fill chips and rebuild edges.
- We shape the repair to match the original.
- We colour-match to the sink glaze or door finish.
- Finally we polish or seal it.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
