DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Kitchen sink repair in Dolphinton without replacing anything
If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it normally needs re-wrapping; we repair chips and dents. We repair the damage and match the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. We work on vinyl-wrapped doors, composite sinks and ceramic Belfast & butler sinks, and people most frequently call us about chips in ceramic sinks and chipped door and drawer edges.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in the Scottish Borders. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and wipe door edges dry.

What affects the price in Dolphinton

- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire sink or cupboard door, we can price the job without visiting.

Common questions in Dolphinton
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Dolphinton included. Travel is included in the price.
Can you repair cupboard doors?
Yes. Chips, dents and scuffs are repaired on most door finishes.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Landlord and trade work in Dolphinton
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dolphinton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What we cannot put right
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Doors where the vinyl wrap has lifted across a large area
- Doors swollen by water
- Sinks cracked through the base
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Vinyl-wrapped doors
- Cabinet ends & plinths
- Gloss and matt cupboard doors
- Composite sinks
- Ceramic Belfast & butler sinks
Should you replace it?
Replacing a sink or door may mean disturbing the worktop 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, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
