- First the damaged area is cleaned and prepared.
- Next we fill the chips and rebuild any edges.
- We shape the repair to match the original.
- We match the colour to the glaze or door.
- Finally we polish or seal it.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole sink or cupboard door, we can price the job.

Kitchen sink repair in South Hylton, done in place
If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it generally needs re-wrapping; we fix chips, dents and local damage. Repairs are matched to the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. Typical jobs include chips in ceramic sinks and chipped door and drawer edges, across composite sinks, cabinet ends & plinths and vinyl-wrapped doors.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

Landlords, agents and businesses in South Hylton
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in South Hylton use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Sunderland and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new sink or door may mean disturbing the worktop and plumbing, or hunting for a door that’s no longer made. A repair keeps your kitchen as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How we price kitchen sink repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
