About our kitchen sink repair in Sunderland

If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it typically needs re-wrapping; we fix chips, dents and local damage. We repair the damage and match the original finish, so you do not need replacement parts. We’re frequently asked to fix chips in ceramic sinks and dents and scuffs on cabinets, in composite sinks, ceramic Belfast & butler sinks and vinyl-wrapped doors.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and prepared.
  2. Next we fill the chips and rebuild any edges.
  3. We sand the repair to the original profile.
  4. The colour is matched to the sink or door finish.
  5. The repair is polished or sealed.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Doors where the vinyl wrap has lifted across a large area
  • Doors swollen by water
  • Sinks cracked through the base

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Signs you need kitchen sink repair in Sunderland

Dropped pans chip ceramic sinks, while doors take knocks from bins, chairs and hoovers.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Dents and scuffs on cabinets
  • Cracks around the waste
  • Chipped door and drawer edges
  • Damage from fitting or moving appliances

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How your room will be protected

10 questions to ask before you book

Should you replace it?

Replacing a sink or door may mean disturbing the worktop and plumbing, or hunting for a door that is no longer made. Repairing it keeps your kitchen as it is. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Do you fix kitchen doors?

Yes. Chips, dents and scuffs are repaired on gloss, matt and wood-effect doors.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Is the work guaranteed?

What kitchen sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole sink or cupboard door
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Most clients in Sunderland get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
