Kitchen sink repair across the Shetland Islands: what to expect
If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it usually 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. Common call-outs are for chipped door and drawer edges and chips in ceramic sinks, in cabinet ends & plinths, gloss and matt cupboard doors and vinyl-wrapped doors.
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- 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.
Prices in the Shetland Islands

Common problems we fix in the Shetland Islands
Ceramic sinks chip when pans and crockery are dropped, and cupboard doors get knocked by chairs, bins and vacuum cleaners.
People usually call us after spotting one of these:
- Dents and scuffs on cabinets
- Chipped door and drawer edges
- Cracks around the waste
- Damage from fitting or moving appliances
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
How we price kitchen sink repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for the Shetland Islands. What changes the price is:
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
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.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Repair or replace?
A new sink or door may mean disturbing the worktop and plumbing, or hunting for a door that’s no longer made. Repairing it keeps your kitchen as it is.

- Sinks cracked through the base
Questions from the Shetland Islands
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you repair a chipped Belfast sink?
Yes. We frequently repair chips on the rim, front and around the waste.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you work in the Shetland Islands?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to the Shetland Islands from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
