Kitchen sink repair in Gilmerton, done in place
Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl generally need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. We repair the damage and match the original finish, so you do not need replacement parts. We work on vinyl-wrapped doors, cabinet ends & plinths and composite sinks, and people most often call us about chipped door and drawer edges and chips in ceramic sinks.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Gilmerton and across Perth and Kinross. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and wipe door edges dry.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a sink or door may mean disturbing the worktop and plumbing, or finding a matching door that’s been discontinued. A repair leaves everything in place. Our kitchen sink repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill chips and rebuild edges.
- We shape the repair to match the original.
- We match the colour to the glaze or door.
- The repair is polished or sealed.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Ensure the area is dry
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

How we price kitchen sink repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Gilmerton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
For landlords and businesses
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.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Questions from Gilmerton
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
