What affects the price in Philadelphia
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Philadelphia. What changes the price is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Philadelphia. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- One picture of the whole sink or cupboard door
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
How we handle kitchen sink repair in Philadelphia
Repairs are matched to the original finish, so you do not need replacement parts. If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it normally needs re-wrapping; we fix chips, dents and local damage. Typical jobs include cracks around the waste and dents and scuffs on cabinets, on cabinet ends & plinths, composite sinks and gloss and matt cupboard doors.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill chips and rebuild edges.
- We sand the repair to the original profile.
- We colour-match to the sink glaze or door finish.
- Finally we polish or seal it.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
