About our kitchen sink repair in Tapton
We repair the damage and match the original finish, so you don’t need replacement parts. Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl normally need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. Whether it’s chipped door and drawer edges and cracks around the waste, we can help, whatever the material.
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.

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 leaves everything in place. Our kitchen sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Tapton: your questions answered
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you repair cupboard doors?
Yes. Chips, dents and scuffs are repaired on gloss, matt and wood-effect doors.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you cover Tapton?
We do. We send a technician to Tapton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Tapton
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Tapton. The price comes down to:
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Doors where the vinyl wrap has lifted across a large area
- Doors swollen by water
- Sinks cracked through the base
