Kitchen sink repair at your home in Gilmerton
Repairs are matched to the original finish, so you do not need replacement parts. If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it generally needs re-wrapping; we repair chips and dents. Common call-outs are for cracks around the waste and damage from fitting or moving appliances, in vinyl-wrapped doors, gloss and matt cupboard doors and ceramic Belfast & butler sinks.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by preparing the damage.
- Next we fill the chips and rebuild any edges.
- We shape the repair to match the original.
- The colour is matched to the sink or door finish.
- The repair is polished or sealed.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Related advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Gilmerton
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Your questions about kitchen sink repair in Gilmerton
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you cover the entire of Edinburgh?
The entire UK, including all of Edinburgh. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Do you work in Gilmerton?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Gilmerton. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can a chipped butler sink be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the rim, apron and around the waste are common repairs.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What affects the price in Gilmerton
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your EH17 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

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.
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.

When we would advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Doors where the vinyl wrap has lifted across a large area
- Doors swollen by water
- Sinks cracked through the base
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Gilmerton

Should you replace it?
Replacing a sink or door can mean disturbing the worktop, cabinets and plumbing, or hunting for a door that’s no longer made. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
