Repairing versus replacing in Gorgie

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 normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Kitchen sink repair at your home in Gorgie

Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl usually 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. We work on vinyl-wrapped doors, ceramic Belfast & butler sinks and composite sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks around the waste and chipped door and drawer edges.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and wipe door edges dry.

How to compare quotes

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Doors where the vinyl wrap has lifted across a large area
  • Doors swollen by water
  • Sinks cracked through the base

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Gorgie

  • Ceramic Belfast & butler sinks
  • Vinyl-wrapped doors
  • Gloss and matt cupboard doors
  • Composite sinks
  • Cabinet ends & plinths

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Gorgie. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Gorgie, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Your questions about kitchen sink repair in Gorgie

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

For anyone letting property in or around Gorgie, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

How it works

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We clean and prepare the damaged area.
  2. Chips are filled and edges rebuilt.
  3. We shape the repair to match the original.
  4. We colour-match to the sink glaze or door finish.
  5. Finally we polish or seal it.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
