Kitchen sink repair in Shortstown

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Doors where the vinyl wrap has lifted across a large area
  • Doors swollen by water
  • Sinks cracked through the base

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Vinyl-wrapped doors
  • Composite sinks
  • Gloss and matt cupboard doors
  • Cabinet ends & plinths
  • Ceramic Belfast & butler sinks

Kitchen sink repair in Shortstown without replacing anything

Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl normally need re-wrapping or replacing; we fix chips, dents and local damage. We repair the damage and match the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. We regularly repair cabinet ends & plinths, gloss and matt cupboard doors and composite sinks, and the jobs we see most are cracks around the waste and chips in ceramic sinks.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and wipe door edges dry.

What kitchen sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Shortstown. The price comes down to:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole sink or cupboard door

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

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 leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by preparing the damage.
  2. Chips are filled and edges rebuilt.
  3. We sand the repair to the original profile.
  4. The colour is matched to the sink or door finish.
  5. The repair is polished or sealed.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
