Kitchen sink repair at your home in Thornley
We repair the damage and match the original finish, so you do not need replacement parts. If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it generally needs re-wrapping; we fix chips, dents and local damage. If you are dealing with chipped door and drawer edges and chips in ceramic sinks, we can help.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and wipe door edges dry.

Questions from Thornley
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Thornley. Prices don’t change with location.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Do you fix kitchen doors?
Yes. Chips, dents and scuffs are repaired on gloss, matt and wood-effect doors.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We start by preparing the damage.
- Chips are filled and edges rebuilt.
- We sand the repair to the original profile.
- We match the colour to the glaze or door.
- Finally we polish or seal it.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Related advice
Repair or replace in Thornley?
A new sink or door may mean disturbing the worktop and plumbing, or hunting for a door that is no longer made. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Thornley

- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Take a look at our full price list.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in County Durham and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your DH6 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
