Kitchen sink repair in Sherborne, done in place
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 repair chips and dents. If you are dealing with chipped door and drawer edges and cracks around the waste, we can help, on gloss and matt cupboard doors, vinyl-wrapped doors and composite sinks alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and wipe door edges dry.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repairing versus replacing in Sherborne
A new sink or door can mean disturbing the worktop, cabinets and plumbing, or hunting for a door that is no longer made. A repair keeps your kitchen as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
