How we price kitchen sink repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole sink or cupboard door, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
About our kitchen sink repair in Upper Sanday
If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it generally needs re-wrapping; we repair chips and dents. We repair the damage and match the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. We are often asked to fix cracks around the waste and damage from fitting or moving appliances, on cabinet ends & plinths, vinyl-wrapped doors and composite sinks.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Doors where the vinyl wrap has lifted across a large area
- Doors swollen by water
- Sinks cracked through the base
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Upper Sanday questions
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do you fix kitchen doors?
Yes. We repair chips, dents and scuffs on most door finishes.
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.

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Upper Sanday. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
