Kitchen sink repair at your home in Waitby
Repairs are matched to the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it usually needs re-wrapping; we fix chips, dents and local damage. Our technicians work on cabinet ends & plinths, composite sinks and vinyl-wrapped doors, and common reasons people get in touch are dents and scuffs on cabinets and chipped door and drawer edges.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cumbria. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and wipe door edges dry.

Questions from Waitby
Do you come to Waitby?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Waitby for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you fix kitchen doors?
Yes. Chips, dents and scuffs are repaired on most door finishes.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Repairing versus replacing in Waitby
Replacing a sink or door may mean disturbing the worktop and plumbing, or finding a matching door that’s been discontinued. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Waitby. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
