How we handle kitchen sink repair in The Green
Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl normally need re-wrapping or replacing; we fix chips, dents and local damage. Repairs are matched to the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. We work on composite sinks, gloss and matt cupboard doors and ceramic Belfast & butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are cracks around the waste and damage from fitting or moving appliances.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

- Doors swollen by water
- Sinks cracked through the base

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble 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. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Your questions about kitchen sink repair in The Green
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Do you fix kitchen doors?
Yes. Chips, dents and scuffs are repaired on most door finishes.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Essex.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
