Kitchen sink repair in Play Hatch without replacing anything
If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it usually needs re-wrapping; we fix chips, dents and local damage. We repair the damage and match the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. We regularly repair ceramic Belfast & butler sinks, gloss and matt cupboard doors and vinyl-wrapped doors, and people most frequently call us about cracks around the waste and chips in ceramic sinks.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and wipe door edges dry.

- We fill chips and rebuild edges.
- We shape the repair to match the original.
- We colour-match to the sink glaze or door finish.
- We polish or seal the repair.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice
Landlord and trade work in Play Hatch
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
