Kitchen sink repair at your home in Temple Bar
We repair the damage and match the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it generally needs re-wrapping; we fix chips, dents and local damage. Whether it’s chips in ceramic sinks and dents and scuffs on cabinets, we can help.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

Temple Bar: your questions answered
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Are there extra charges for Temple Bar?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area.
- Next we fill the chips and rebuild any edges.
- We shape the repair to match the original.
- We colour-match to the sink glaze or door finish.
- Finally we polish or seal it.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the sink or cupboard door, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble 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 tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
How we price kitchen sink repair
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire sink or cupboard door, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
