About our kitchen sink repair in Waterhouses
Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl usually need re-wrapping or replacing; we fix chips, dents and local damage. Repairs are matched to the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. We regularly repair vinyl-wrapped doors, gloss and matt cupboard doors and cabinet ends & plinths, and the jobs we see most are chips in ceramic sinks and dents and scuffs on cabinets.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

Repairing versus replacing in Waterhouses
Replacing a sink or door can mean disturbing the worktop, cabinets and plumbing, or hunting for a door that is no longer made. Repairing it keeps your kitchen as it is. Our kitchen sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill chips and rebuild edges.
- The repair is sanded to the original profile.
- We colour-match to the sink glaze or door finish.
- Finally we polish or seal it.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Landlord and trade work in Waterhouses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
