Trusted kitchen sink repair in Colinton

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 leaves everything in place. Our kitchen sink repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Kitchen sink repair in Colinton, done in place

If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it normally needs re-wrapping; we fix chips, dents and local damage. Repairs are matched to the original finish, so you don’t need replacement parts. We regularly repair ceramic Belfast & butler sinks, vinyl-wrapped doors and cabinet ends & plinths, and common reasons people contact us are cracks around the waste and chipped door and drawer edges.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Colinton

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match

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.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire sink or cupboard door, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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. Finally we polish or seal it.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
