Kitchen sink repair for Portmellon homes

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Doors where the vinyl wrap has lifted across a large area
  • Doors swollen by water
  • Sinks cracked through the base

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Gloss and matt cupboard doors
  • Vinyl-wrapped doors
  • Cabinet ends & plinths
  • Composite sinks
  • Ceramic Belfast & butler sinks

How we handle kitchen sink repair in Portmellon

We repair the damage and match the original finish, so you do not need replacement parts. If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it generally needs re-wrapping; we repair chips and dents. We regularly repair vinyl-wrapped doors, cabinet ends & plinths and composite sinks, and the jobs we see most are chips in ceramic sinks and chipped door and drawer edges.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Portmellon and across Cornwall. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and wipe door edges dry.

Questions from Portmellon

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you repair a chipped Belfast sink?

Yes. We often repair chips on the rim, front and around the waste.

Can you repair cupboard doors?

Yes. We repair chips, dents and scuffs on gloss, matt and wood-effect doors.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure 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.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by preparing the damage.
  2. Chips are filled and edges rebuilt.
  3. We sand the repair to the original profile.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze or door.
  5. Finally we polish or seal it.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Why repair rather than replace?

A new sink or door may mean disturbing the worktop and plumbing, or hunting for a door that is no longer made. A repair keeps your kitchen as it is. Our kitchen sink repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Portmellon. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Portmellon clients choose us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • No need to remove anything
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Read our full price list.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire sink or cupboard door
  • Details of any past repairs

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
