Need kitchen sink repair in Elphinstone?

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Kitchen sink repair in Elphinstone, done in place

If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it typically needs re-wrapping; we repair chips and dents. We repair the damage and match the original finish, so you don’t need replacement parts. We work on ceramic Belfast & butler sinks, vinyl-wrapped doors and cabinet ends & plinths, and common reasons people get in touch are chipped door and drawer edges and damage from fitting or moving appliances.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and wipe door edges dry.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Elphinstone

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in East Lothian and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Elphinstone use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and prepared.
  2. Chips are filled and edges rebuilt.
  3. We sand the repair to the original profile.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze or door.
  5. Finally we polish or seal it.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

Most clients in Elphinstone get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
