Kitchen sink repair at your home in Pity Me
If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it typically needs re-wrapping; we repair chips and dents. Repairs are matched to the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. Typical jobs include damage from fitting or moving appliances and cracks around the waste, in vinyl-wrapped doors, gloss and matt cupboard doors and composite sinks.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and wipe door edges dry.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pity Me
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in County Durham and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips are filled and edges rebuilt.
- The repair is sanded to the original profile.
- We match the colour to the glaze or door.
- Finally we polish or seal it.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How we price kitchen sink repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Pity Me. The price reflects:
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A picture taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the sink or cupboard door, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Pity Me: your questions answered
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you work in Pity Me?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Pity Me from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
