Questions from Rayleigh
What happens after I send pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Do you fix kitchen doors?
Yes. We repair chips, dents and scuffs on most door finishes.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Kitchen sink repair in Rayleigh, done in place
Repairs are matched to the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it typically needs re-wrapping; we repair chips and dents. We’re frequently asked to fix cracks around the waste and chips in ceramic sinks, in composite sinks, vinyl-wrapped doors and cabinet ends & plinths.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

What kitchen sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire sink or cupboard door
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

What else we do in Rayleigh
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new sink or door can mean disturbing the worktop, cabinets and plumbing, or hunting for a door that’s no longer made. Repairing it keeps your kitchen as it is. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
