Questions from Fountainhall
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What does kitchen sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of the Scottish Borders. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you fix kitchen doors?
Yes. We repair chips, dents and scuffs on most door finishes.
How we handle kitchen sink repair in Fountainhall
If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it generally needs re-wrapping; we fix chips, dents and local damage. Repairs are matched to the original finish, so you do not need replacement parts. We work on vinyl-wrapped doors, ceramic Belfast & butler sinks and composite sinks, and the jobs we see most are chips in ceramic sinks and damage from fitting or moving appliances.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Fountainhall as everywhere else we work. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How we price kitchen sink repair

- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire sink or cupboard door
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and prepared.
- Next we fill the chips and rebuild any edges.
- We shape the repair to match the original.
- We colour-match to the sink glaze or door finish.
- The repair is polished or sealed.
Before we arrive
