How we handle kitchen sink repair in Firrhill
Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl typically need re-wrapping or replacing; we fix chips, dents and local damage. Repairs are matched to the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. Whether it’s dents and scuffs on cabinets and chips in ceramic sinks, we can generally put it right, on gloss and matt cupboard doors, composite sinks and vinyl-wrapped doors alike.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and wipe door edges dry.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new sink or door can mean disturbing the worktop, cabinets and plumbing, or finding a matching door that’s been discontinued. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our kitchen sink repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Firrhill, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We start by preparing the damage.
- Next we fill the chips and rebuild any edges.
- The repair is sanded to the original profile.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Your questions about kitchen sink repair in Firrhill
Do you work in Firrhill?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Firrhill and the rest of Edinburgh. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
