Kitchen sink repair at your home in Thornwood
Repairs are matched to the original finish, so you don’t need replacement parts. Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl typically need re-wrapping or replacing; we fix chips, dents and local damage. Whether it’s dents and scuffs on cabinets and damage from fitting or moving appliances, we can help, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by preparing the damage.
- We fill chips and rebuild edges.
- We shape the repair to match the original.
- We colour-match to the sink glaze or door finish.
- We polish or seal the repair.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

FAQs for Thornwood
How do I get a price for kitchen sink repair in Thornwood?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Are there extra charges for Thornwood?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a sink or door can mean disturbing the worktop, cabinets and plumbing, or hunting for a door that is no longer made. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What affects the price in Thornwood
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire sink or cupboard door
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole sink or cupboard door, we can price the job without visiting.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
