About our kitchen sink repair in Barnton
Repairs are matched to the original finish, so you do not need replacement parts. Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl normally need re-wrapping or replacing; we fix chips, dents and local damage. We regularly repair composite sinks, vinyl-wrapped doors and ceramic Belfast & butler sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are damage from fitting or moving appliances and chipped door and drawer edges.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and wipe door edges dry.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new 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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area.
- We fill chips and rebuild edges.
- We shape the repair to match the original.
- We colour-match to the sink glaze or door finish.
- Finally we polish or seal it.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Questions from Barnton
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Edinburgh. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How we price kitchen sink repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire sink or cupboard door
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What else we do in Barnton
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
