Kitchen sink repair in Waterhead, done in place
We repair the damage and match 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 cracks around the waste and chips in ceramic sinks, across cabinet ends & plinths, composite sinks and vinyl-wrapped doors.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and wipe door edges dry.

Work for landlords and builders

How we price kitchen sink repair
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the entire sink or cupboard door
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through 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.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We start by preparing the damage.
- Next we fill the chips and rebuild any edges.
- The repair is sanded to the original profile.
- We match the colour to the glaze or door.
- We polish or seal the repair.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Open a window if you can
- Ensure the area is dry

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
