Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Kitchen sink repair at your home in River
Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl normally 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 chipped door and drawer edges and damage from fitting or moving appliances, we can help, on vinyl-wrapped doors, ceramic Belfast & butler sinks and cabinet ends & plinths alike.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

- The repair is sanded to the original profile.
- We colour-match to the sink glaze or door finish.
- The repair is polished or sealed.

What affects the price in River
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
