Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
About our kitchen sink repair in Ottinge
Repairs are matched to the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl typically need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. Our technicians work on composite sinks, cabinet ends & plinths and vinyl-wrapped doors, and the jobs we see most are damage from fitting or moving appliances and cracks around the waste.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and wipe door edges dry.

How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Does someone need to be in?

Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

- The repair is sanded to the original profile.
- We match the colour to the glaze or door.
- Finally we polish or seal it.

Advice
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- 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’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Gloss and matt cupboard doors
- Vinyl-wrapped doors
- Ceramic Belfast & butler sinks
- Cabinet ends & plinths
- Composite sinks
Should you replace it?
Replacing a sink or door may mean disturbing the worktop and plumbing, or hunting for a door that is no longer made. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
