Kitchen sink repair in Wivenhoe, done in place

Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl normally 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 composite sinks, vinyl-wrapped doors and cabinet ends & plinths, and the jobs we see most are dents and scuffs on cabinets and cracks around the waste.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and wipe door edges dry.

10 questions to ask before you book

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by preparing the damage.
  2. We fill chips and rebuild edges.
  3. We sand the repair to the original profile.
  4. The colour is matched to the sink or door finish.
  5. The repair is polished or sealed.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Doors where the vinyl wrap has lifted across a large area
  • Doors swollen by water
  • Sinks cracked through the base

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Wivenhoe

  • Composite sinks
  • Cabinet ends & plinths
  • Gloss and matt cupboard doors
  • Ceramic Belfast & butler sinks
  • Vinyl-wrapped doors

How we price kitchen sink repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

  • A photo taken from further back
