How we handle kitchen sink repair in Lochend
If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it normally needs re-wrapping; we fix chips, dents and local damage. Repairs are matched to the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. We’re frequently asked to fix damage from fitting or moving appliances and chips in ceramic sinks, across cabinet ends & plinths, composite sinks and ceramic Belfast & butler sinks.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and wipe door edges dry.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Lochend
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Edinburgh and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
What kitchen sink repair costs
