Kitchen sink repair in Pennywell, done in place
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. Typical jobs include dents and scuffs on cabinets and chips in ceramic sinks, on vinyl-wrapped doors, gloss and matt cupboard doors and ceramic Belfast & butler sinks.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and wipe door edges dry.

Repairing versus replacing in Pennywell
Replacing a sink or door can mean disturbing the worktop, cabinets and plumbing, or hunting for a door that is no longer made. A repair leaves everything in place. Our kitchen sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How we price kitchen sink repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Pennywell. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the whole sink or cupboard door
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
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.
