Kitchen sink repair in Leith without replacing anything
We repair the damage and match the original finish, so you do not need replacement parts. If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it normally needs re-wrapping; we fix chips, dents and local damage. Whether it’s dents and scuffs on cabinets and cracks around the waste, we can usually put it right.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and wipe door edges dry.

How it works
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and prepared.
- Next we fill the chips and rebuild any edges.
- The repair is sanded to the original profile.
- We match the colour to the glaze or door.
- Finally we polish or seal it.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price

Advice
Landlord and trade work in Leith
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
