Kitchen sink repair in Tansley without replacing anything
Repairs are matched to the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl generally need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. Common call-outs are for chipped door and drawer edges and chips in ceramic sinks, on composite sinks, cabinet ends & plinths and gloss and matt cupboard doors.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and wipe door edges dry.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new sink or door may mean disturbing the worktop and plumbing, or finding a matching door that is been discontinued. A repair keeps your kitchen as it is. Our kitchen sink repair starts 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What affects the price in Tansley
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Tansley. The price comes down to:
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- We start by preparing the damage.
- Chips are filled and edges rebuilt.
- We sand the repair to the original profile.
- The colour is matched to the sink or door finish.
- We polish or seal the repair.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
