How we handle kitchen sink repair in St James's
Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl generally need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. Repairs are matched to the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. If you’re dealing with chipped door and drawer edges and cracks around the waste, we can help, on cabinet ends & plinths, vinyl-wrapped doors and gloss and matt cupboard doors alike.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in St James's and across Greater London. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

What affects the price in St James's
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for St James's. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire sink or cupboard door
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Questions from St James's
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire sink or cupboard door and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Do you work in St James's?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to St James's and the rest of Greater London. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Repair or replace in St James's?
Replacing a sink or door can mean disturbing the worktop, cabinets and plumbing, or hunting for a door that is no longer made. Repairing it keeps your kitchen as it is. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
