How we handle kitchen sink repair in Whickham
If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it typically needs re-wrapping; we fix chips, dents and local damage. We repair the damage and match the original finish, so you do not need replacement parts. We work on cabinet ends & plinths, vinyl-wrapped doors and ceramic Belfast & butler sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are damage from fitting or moving appliances and chipped door and drawer edges.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Whickham and across Gateshead. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and wipe door edges dry.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Should you replace it?
A new sink or door may mean disturbing the worktop and plumbing, or finding a matching door that is been discontinued. A repair keeps your kitchen as it is. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Whickham. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Whickham: your questions answered
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Gateshead.
Do you come to Whickham?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Whickham. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can a chipped butler sink be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the rim, apron and around the waste are common repairs.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
