Kitchen sink repair at your home in Thurston
Repairs are matched to the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl usually need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. Common call-outs are for chipped door and drawer edges and chips in ceramic sinks, across composite sinks, gloss and matt cupboard doors and cabinet ends & plinths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
What kitchen sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Thurston. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
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.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Doors where the vinyl wrap has lifted across a large area
- Doors swollen by water
- Sinks cracked through the base
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Thurston

Questions from Thurston
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you repair cupboard doors?
Yes. We repair chips, dents and scuffs on most door finishes.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area.
- Next we fill the chips and rebuild any edges.
- The repair is sanded to the original profile.
- The colour is matched to the sink or door finish.
- The repair is polished or sealed.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
