Kitchen sink repair at your home in Thornton
Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl generally need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. Repairs are matched to the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. Common call-outs are for damage from fitting or moving appliances and cracks around the waste, across composite sinks, vinyl-wrapped doors and gloss and matt cupboard doors.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Thornton as everywhere else we work. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

What kitchen sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Thornton. The price comes down to:
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire sink or cupboard door
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area.
- We fill chips and rebuild edges.
- The repair is sanded to the original profile.
- We colour-match to the sink glaze or door finish.
- We polish or seal the repair.
Before we arrive

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Doors where the vinyl wrap has lifted across a large area
- Doors swollen by water
- Sinks cracked through the base
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic Belfast & butler sinks
- Cabinet ends & plinths
- Vinyl-wrapped doors
- Gloss and matt cupboard doors
- Composite sinks
