Kitchen sink repair in Cornhill, done in place
We repair the damage and match the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl normally need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. We regularly repair gloss and matt cupboard doors, ceramic Belfast & butler sinks and cabinet ends & plinths, and the jobs we see most are cracks around the waste and damage from fitting or moving appliances.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and wipe door edges dry.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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: 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 typically cheaper.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.
- We start by preparing the damage.
- Next we fill the chips and rebuild any edges.
- We sand the repair to the original profile.
- We match the colour to the glaze or door.
- Finally we polish or seal it.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Cornhill questions
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can a chipped butler sink be fixed?
Yes. We often repair chips on the rim, front and around the waste.
Do you cover the whole of Aberdeen?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Doors where the vinyl wrap has lifted across a large area
- Doors swollen by water
- Sinks cracked through the base
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Vinyl-wrapped doors
- Gloss and matt cupboard doors
- Composite sinks
- Ceramic Belfast & butler sinks
- Cabinet ends & plinths
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a sink or door can mean disturbing the worktop, cabinets and plumbing, or finding a matching door that is been discontinued. A repair keeps your kitchen as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
