FAQs for Gayfield
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.
Do you fix kitchen doors?
Yes. We repair chips, dents and scuffs on gloss, matt and wood-effect doors.
Do you come to Gayfield?
We do. Technicians travel to Gayfield from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Kitchen sink repair in Gayfield, done in place
Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl generally need re-wrapping or replacing; we fix chips, dents and local damage. Repairs are matched to the original finish, so you do not need replacement parts. Our technicians work on ceramic Belfast & butler sinks, gloss and matt cupboard doors and composite sinks, and the jobs we see most are damage from fitting or moving appliances and chipped door and drawer edges.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Edinburgh. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and wipe door edges dry.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a sink or door can mean disturbing the worktop, cabinets and plumbing, or finding a matching door that is been discontinued. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why us?

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Gayfield. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire sink or cupboard door
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For a price in Gayfield, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Other services in Gayfield
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
