How we handle kitchen sink repair in Shirley Oaks
Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl generally need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. We repair the damage and match the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. Our technicians work on cabinet ends & plinths, composite sinks and gloss and matt cupboard doors, and the jobs we see most are cracks around the waste and damage from fitting or moving appliances.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What kitchen sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
If you’re in Shirley Oaks and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
