Kitchen sink repair at your home in Rochester
We repair the damage and match 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 fix chips, dents and local damage. Our repair technicians work on gloss and matt cupboard doors, ceramic Belfast & butler sinks and vinyl-wrapped doors, and people most frequently call us about dents and scuffs on cabinets and chips in ceramic sinks.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and dry the door edges after spills.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Rochester. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

FAQs for Rochester
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When to call us in Rochester
