Kitchen sink repair at your home in Balerno

We repair the damage and match the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl usually need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. Typical jobs include cracks around the waste and dents and scuffs on cabinets, across gloss and matt cupboard doors, cabinet ends & plinths and ceramic Belfast & butler sinks.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and wipe door edges dry.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new sink or door can mean disturbing the worktop, cabinets and plumbing, or hunting for a door that is no longer made. A repair keeps your kitchen as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Balerno. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Landlords, agents and businesses in Balerno

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by preparing the damage.
  2. Chips are filled and edges rebuilt.
  3. We shape the repair to match the original.
  4. We colour-match to the sink glaze or door finish.
  5. The repair is polished or sealed.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to compare quotes

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

What kitchen sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Balerno. The price reflects:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
