About our kitchen sink repair in Shelley
Repairs are matched to the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it usually needs re-wrapping; we fix chips, dents and local damage. Our technicians work on gloss and matt cupboard doors, cabinet ends & plinths and composite sinks, and people most frequently call us about damage from fitting or moving appliances and cracks around the waste.
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 wipe door edges dry.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
