About our kitchen sink repair in Star
We repair the damage and match the original finish, so you don’t need replacement parts. If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it typically needs re-wrapping; we fix chips, dents and local damage. We are often asked to fix damage from fitting or moving appliances and cracks around the waste, across vinyl-wrapped doors, gloss and matt cupboard doors and ceramic Belfast & butler sinks.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and wipe door edges dry.

Star questions
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Can you repair cupboard doors?
Yes. Chips, dents and scuffs are repaired on most door finishes.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Star.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Fife. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
What kitchen sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
What happens on the day
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area.
- We fill chips and rebuild edges.
- We sand the repair to the original profile.
- We match the colour to the glaze or door.
- The repair is polished or sealed.
How to prepare
