- Doors swollen by water
- Sinks cracked through the base
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cabinet ends & plinths
- Vinyl-wrapped doors
- Composite sinks
- Gloss and matt cupboard doors
- Ceramic Belfast & butler sinks
Kitchen sink repair at your home in Thornhill
Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl generally need re-wrapping or replacing; we fix chips, dents and local damage. We repair the damage and match the original finish, so you don’t need replacement parts. We work on cabinet ends & plinths, composite sinks and gloss and matt cupboard doors, and the jobs we see most are chipped door and drawer edges and cracks around the waste.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
How we price kitchen sink repair
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Thornhill. What changes the price is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the entire sink or cupboard door
- Any details about the material
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
