About our kitchen sink repair in Swalwell
If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it usually needs re-wrapping; we repair chips and dents. We repair the damage and match the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. Our technicians work on cabinet ends & plinths, ceramic Belfast & butler sinks and composite sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are dents and scuffs on cabinets and chips in ceramic sinks.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

Common questions in Swalwell
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
How do I get a price for kitchen sink repair in Swalwell?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Do you fix kitchen doors?
Yes. We repair chips, dents and scuffs on gloss, matt and wood-effect doors.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill chips and rebuild edges.
- We shape the repair to match the original.
- We match the colour to the glaze or door.
- Finally we polish or seal it.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NE16 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

When to call us in Swalwell
Dropped pans chip ceramic sinks, and cupboard doors get knocked by chairs, bins and vacuum cleaners.
Look out for any of the following:
- Damage from fitting or moving appliances
- Chipped door and drawer edges
- Dents and scuffs on cabinets
- Chips in ceramic sinks
Questions to ask before booking
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole sink or cupboard door
- Any details about the material
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Landlord and trade work in Swalwell
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Can I fix it myself?
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a sink or door may mean disturbing the worktop and plumbing, or hunting for a door that’s no longer made. Repairing it keeps your kitchen as it is. Our kitchen sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
