About our kitchen sink repair in St Albans

Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl usually need re-wrapping or replacing; we fix chips, dents and local damage. Repairs are matched to the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. We’re frequently asked to fix chips in ceramic sinks and cracks around the waste, on gloss and matt cupboard doors, vinyl-wrapped doors and ceramic Belfast & butler sinks.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We clean and prepare the damaged area.
  2. Next we fill the chips and rebuild any edges.
  3. We sand the repair to the original profile.
  4. We colour-match to the sink glaze or door finish.
  5. Finally we polish or seal it.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the sink or cupboard door, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How we price kitchen sink repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in St Albans as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

FAQs for St Albans

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

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, and the work is guaranteed.
