How we handle kitchen sink repair in Old Town
Repairs are matched to 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 fix chips, dents and local damage. If you are dealing with dents and scuffs on cabinets and damage from fitting or moving appliances, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

FAQs for Old Town
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you fix kitchen doors?
Yes. Chips, dents and scuffs are repaired on most door finishes.
How do I get a price for kitchen sink repair in Old Town?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
When we would advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Doors where the vinyl wrap has lifted across a large area
- Doors swollen by water
- Sinks cracked through the base

What affects the price in Old Town
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Details of any past repairs
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill chips and rebuild edges.
- We sand the repair to the original profile.
- We match the colour to the glaze or door.
- The repair is polished or sealed.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
