Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One picture of the whole sink or cupboard door
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Kitchen sink repair in Southcote without replacing anything
If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it generally needs re-wrapping; we fix chips, dents and local damage. We repair the damage and match the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. Whether it’s damage from fitting or moving appliances and chipped door and drawer edges, we can help.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Southcote as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We start by preparing the damage.
- Next we fill the chips and rebuild any edges.
- We sand the repair to the original profile.
- The colour is matched to the sink or door finish.
- The repair is polished or sealed.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
