What kitchen sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the whole sink or cupboard door
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Kitchen sink repair in Wherstead without replacing anything
Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl typically need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. We repair the damage and match the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. Typical jobs include dents and scuffs on cabinets and chipped door and drawer edges, on composite sinks, vinyl-wrapped doors and ceramic Belfast & butler sinks.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and wipe door edges dry.

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
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.

Wherstead questions
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
When a repair is not the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- 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’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Ceramic Belfast & butler sinks
- Cabinet ends & plinths
- Composite sinks
- Vinyl-wrapped doors
- Gloss and matt cupboard doors
Why repair rather than replace?
A new sink or door can mean disturbing the worktop, cabinets and plumbing, or finding a matching door that is been discontinued. A repair keeps your kitchen as it is. Our kitchen sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
