About our kitchen sink repair in Ripley
Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl typically need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. Repairs are matched to the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. Whether it’s chips in ceramic sinks and dents and scuffs on cabinets, we can help, on gloss and matt cupboard doors, ceramic Belfast & butler sinks and composite sinks alike.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Ripley as everywhere else we work. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole sink or cupboard door
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
What we’re called out for in Ripley
Dropped pans chip ceramic sinks, and cupboard doors get knocked by chairs, bins and vacuum cleaners.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chipped door and drawer edges
- Dents and scuffs on cabinets
- Chips in ceramic sinks
- Damage from fitting or moving appliances
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How long it needs to cure
- How the room is protected while they work
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Doors where the vinyl wrap has lifted across a large area
- Doors swollen by water
- Sinks cracked through the base
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a sink or door can mean disturbing the worktop, cabinets and plumbing, or finding a matching door that is been discontinued. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill chips and rebuild edges.
- The repair is sanded to the original profile.
- We colour-match to the sink glaze or door finish.
- We polish or seal the repair.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

FAQs for Ripley
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can a chipped butler sink be fixed?
Yes. We often repair chips on the rim, front and around the waste.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
