Kitchen sink repair in West Reading without replacing anything
Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl normally need re-wrapping or replacing; we fix chips, dents and local damage. We repair the damage and match the original finish, so you don’t need replacement parts. Common call-outs are for dents and scuffs on cabinets and cracks around the waste, across composite sinks, vinyl-wrapped doors and cabinet ends & plinths.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and wipe door edges dry.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

How we price kitchen sink repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- The material
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole sink or cupboard door
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
