Kitchen sink repair in Row, done in place
We repair the damage and match the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl usually need re-wrapping or replacing; we fix chips, dents and local damage. We’re often asked to fix chips in ceramic sinks and dents and scuffs on cabinets, across cabinet ends & plinths, gloss and matt cupboard doors and vinyl-wrapped doors.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

Row: your questions answered
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cumbria.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new sink or door can mean disturbing the worktop, cabinets and plumbing, or finding a matching door that is been discontinued. A repair keeps your kitchen as it is. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Row. The price reflects:
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole sink or cupboard door, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
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.
Landlord and trade work in Row
