Kitchen sink repair at your home in Craigmillar
We repair the damage and match the original finish, so you don’t need replacement parts. If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it normally needs re-wrapping; we repair chips and dents. Our repair technicians work on gloss and matt cupboard doors, cabinet ends & plinths and vinyl-wrapped doors, and people most often call us about damage from fitting or moving appliances and chips in ceramic sinks.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and wipe door edges dry.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Craigmillar, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Craigmillar as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by preparing the damage.
- We fill chips and rebuild edges.
- The repair is sanded to the original profile.
- The colour is matched to the sink or door finish.
- The repair is polished or sealed.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
