Kitchen sink repair in Gilcrux, done in place
Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl normally need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. Repairs are matched to the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. We are often asked to fix chipped door and drawer edges and dents and scuffs on cabinets, on vinyl-wrapped doors, cabinet ends & plinths and ceramic Belfast & butler sinks.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and wipe door edges dry.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gilcrux
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
If you manage property in Gilcrux, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new sink or door may mean disturbing the worktop and plumbing, or finding a matching door that is been discontinued. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our kitchen sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Gilcrux, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
