Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
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.
Kitchen sink repair in Dovecote, done in place
Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl normally need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. Repairs are matched to the original finish, so you do not need replacement parts. We regularly repair vinyl-wrapped doors, cabinet ends & plinths and gloss and matt cupboard doors, and common reasons people contact us are chipped door and drawer edges and dents and scuffs on cabinets.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and wipe door edges dry.

Repairing versus replacing in Dovecote
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. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Dovecote. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Take a look at our pricing.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What we cannot put right
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 photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Vinyl-wrapped doors
- Ceramic Belfast & butler sinks
- Composite sinks
- Cabinet ends & plinths
- Gloss and matt cupboard doors
What kitchen sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Dovecote. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill chips and rebuild 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
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Common questions in Dovecote
Do you cover the entire of East Lothian?
All of East Lothian, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can a chipped butler sink be fixed?
Yes. We often repair chips on the rim, front and around the waste.

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
