About our kitchen sink repair in Shap
If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it typically needs re-wrapping; we repair chips and dents. We repair the damage and match the original finish, so you do not need replacement parts. Common call-outs are for cracks around the waste and chipped door and drawer edges, on ceramic Belfast & butler sinks, cabinet ends & plinths and vinyl-wrapped doors.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re 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.

How we price kitchen sink repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
How the visit works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area.
- Chips are filled and edges rebuilt.
- The repair is sanded to the original profile.
- We match the colour to the glaze or door.
- We polish or seal the repair.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole sink or cupboard door, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What a repair cannot fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Doors where the vinyl wrap has lifted across a large area
- Doors swollen by water
- Sinks cracked through the base
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cabinet ends & plinths

- Composite sinks
Can I fix it myself?
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
