Kitchen sink repair in Thorpe Acre without replacing anything
Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl normally need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. We repair the damage and match the original finish, so you don’t need replacement parts. Whether it’s cracks around the waste and chips in ceramic sinks, we can generally put it right, on composite sinks, gloss and matt cupboard doors and vinyl-wrapped doors alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

FAQs for Thorpe Acre
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire sink or cupboard door
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your LE11 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thorpe Acre as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a sink or door may mean disturbing the worktop 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. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
