About our kitchen sink repair in Kelvinside
Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl usually need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. Repairs are matched to the original finish, so you don’t need replacement parts. We regularly repair vinyl-wrapped doors, cabinet ends & plinths and composite sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are chips in ceramic sinks and chipped door and drawer edges.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and wipe door edges dry.

Kelvinside: your questions answered
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you cover the whole of Glasgow?
We work UK-wide, so Kelvinside is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can a chipped butler sink be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the rim, apron and around the waste are common repairs.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Common problems we fix in Kelvinside
