About our kitchen sink repair in Thornes
If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it typically needs re-wrapping; we fix chips, dents and local damage. We repair the damage and match the original finish, so you don’t need replacement parts. Whether it’s chipped door and drawer edges and cracks around the waste, we can usually put it right.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thornes as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a sink or door may mean disturbing the worktop and plumbing, or hunting for a door that is no longer made. A repair keeps your kitchen as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Doors where the vinyl wrap has lifted across a large area
- Doors swollen by water
- Sinks cracked through the base
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Composite sinks
- Vinyl-wrapped doors
- Ceramic Belfast & butler sinks
- Cabinet ends & plinths
- Gloss and matt cupboard doors
Questions from Thornes
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
