Kitchen sink repair in Marchmont, done in place

We repair the damage and match the original finish, so you don’t need replacement parts. Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl normally need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. We’re frequently asked to fix dents and scuffs on cabinets and chips in ceramic sinks, in ceramic Belfast & butler sinks, cabinet ends & plinths and gloss and matt cupboard doors.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a sink or door may mean disturbing the worktop and plumbing, or finding a matching door that’s been discontinued. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our kitchen sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why Marchmont customers choose us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Same prices wherever you are

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We clean and prepare the damaged area.
  2. Chips are filled and edges rebuilt.
  3. We sand the repair to the original profile.
  4. The colour is matched to the sink or door finish.
  5. We polish or seal the repair.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

Your questions about kitchen sink repair in Marchmont

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can a chipped butler sink be fixed?

Yes. Chips to the rim, apron and around the waste are common repairs.

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.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

What kitchen sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A wider photo showing the whole sink or cupboard door
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For a price in Marchmont, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How to compare quotes

Landlord and trade work in Marchmont

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
