Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
About our kitchen sink repair in Stella
We repair the damage and match the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl typically need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. Our repair technicians work on gloss and matt cupboard doors, cabinet ends & plinths and vinyl-wrapped doors, and common reasons people contact us are damage from fitting or moving appliances and dents and scuffs on cabinets.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

Common questions in Stella
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can you repair cupboard doors?
Yes. Chips, dents and scuffs are repaired on gloss, matt and wood-effect doors.
Can a chipped butler sink be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the rim, apron and around the waste are common repairs.
Do you come to Stella?
We do. Technicians travel to Stella from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How we price kitchen sink repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Stella. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new sink or door can mean disturbing the worktop, cabinets and plumbing, or hunting for a door that is no longer made. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses
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 carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Newcastle upon Tyne and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
