How we handle kitchen sink repair in Shortfield Common
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 generally needs re-wrapping; we fix chips, dents and local damage. Common call-outs are for chipped door and drawer edges and dents and scuffs on cabinets, in cabinet ends & plinths, vinyl-wrapped doors and ceramic Belfast & butler sinks.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and wipe door edges dry.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Take a look at our pricing.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What kitchen sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole sink or cupboard door, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
