DIY repairs versus a professional job
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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.
About our kitchen sink repair in Whiteleas
Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl generally need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. Repairs are matched to the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. We are frequently asked to fix damage from fitting or moving appliances and dents and scuffs on cabinets, in vinyl-wrapped doors, ceramic Belfast & butler sinks and gloss and matt cupboard doors.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and wipe door edges dry.

FAQs for Whiteleas
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you cover the whole of Sunderland?
The entire UK, including all of Sunderland. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What kitchen sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
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.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One picture of the whole sink or cupboard door
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your NE34 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by preparing the damage.
- Next we fill the chips and rebuild any edges.
- We shape the repair to match the original.
- We match the colour to the glaze or door.
- We polish or seal the repair.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire sink or cupboard door, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
