About our kitchen sink repair in Sandling
We repair the damage and match the original finish, so you don’t need replacement parts. If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it typically needs re-wrapping; we fix chips, dents and local damage. We work on gloss and matt cupboard doors, vinyl-wrapped doors and composite sinks, and people most frequently call us about chipped door and drawer edges and chips in ceramic sinks.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

Questions from Sandling
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can a chipped butler sink be fixed?
Yes. We frequently repair chips on the rim, front and around the waste.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Are there extra charges for Sandling?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do you cover the whole of Kent?
All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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 usually cheaper.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a sink or door may mean disturbing the worktop and plumbing, or hunting for a door that is no longer made. Repairing it keeps your kitchen as it is. Our kitchen sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Sandling. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What affects the price in Sandling
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area.
- Next we fill the chips and rebuild any 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.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
