What affects the price in Royston
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the whole sink or cupboard door
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Kitchen sink repair in Royston without replacing anything
We repair the damage and match the original finish, so you do not need replacement parts. Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl generally need re-wrapping or replacing; we fix chips, dents and local damage. Our repair technicians work on composite sinks, gloss and matt cupboard doors and cabinet ends & plinths, and people most often call us about chipped door and drawer edges and dents and scuffs on cabinets.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and wipe door edges dry.

Common questions in Royston
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Can a chipped butler sink be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the rim, apron and around the waste are common repairs.
How do I get a price for kitchen sink repair in Royston?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Repairing versus replacing in Royston
Replacing a sink or door can mean disturbing the worktop, cabinets and plumbing, or hunting for a door that is no longer made. Repairing it keeps your kitchen as it is. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

What else we do in Royston
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. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Doors where the vinyl wrap has lifted across a large area
- Doors swollen by water
- Sinks cracked through the base
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
