East Linton: your questions answered
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can a chipped butler sink be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the rim, apron and around the waste are common repairs.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Kitchen sink repair at your home in East Linton
We repair the damage and match the original finish, so you do not need replacement parts. If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it generally needs re-wrapping; we fix chips, dents and local damage. We are often asked to fix damage from fitting or moving appliances and chips in ceramic sinks, on cabinet ends & plinths, ceramic Belfast & butler sinks and vinyl-wrapped doors.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

Landlords, agents and businesses in East Linton
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in East Linton use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We start by preparing the damage.
- We fill chips and rebuild edges.
- We shape the repair to match the original.
- We match the colour to the glaze or door.
- Finally we polish or seal it.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Make sure the area is dry
