Kitchen sink repair in South Shields without replacing anything
If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it usually needs re-wrapping; we fix chips, dents and local damage. Repairs are matched to the original finish, so you do not need replacement parts. Common call-outs are for damage from fitting or moving appliances and chips in ceramic sinks, across composite sinks, gloss and matt cupboard doors and vinyl-wrapped doors.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your NE34 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Doors where the vinyl wrap has lifted across a large area
- Doors swollen by water
- Sinks cracked through the base
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Vinyl-wrapped doors
- Gloss and matt cupboard doors

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
