Kitchen sink repair in Aithsetter, done in place
We repair the damage and match the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it generally needs re-wrapping; we fix chips, dents and local damage. We regularly repair ceramic Belfast & butler sinks, vinyl-wrapped doors and composite sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks around the waste and chipped door and drawer edges.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and wipe door edges dry.

Questions from Aithsetter
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can a chipped butler sink be fixed?
Yes. We often repair chips on the rim, front and around the waste.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.
Do you fix kitchen doors?
Yes. Chips, dents and scuffs are repaired on most door finishes.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a sink or door may mean disturbing the worktop and plumbing, or finding a matching door that’s been discontinued. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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 it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and prepared.
- Next we fill the chips and rebuild any edges.
- We shape the repair to match the original.
- We colour-match to the sink glaze or door finish.
- We polish or seal the repair.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
Rather than charging by the hour, 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
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
