About our kitchen sink repair in Niddrie Mains
Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl normally need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. We repair the damage and match the original finish, so you do not need replacement parts. We regularly repair ceramic Belfast & butler sinks, cabinet ends & plinths and vinyl-wrapped doors, and people most frequently call us about cracks around the waste and chipped door and drawer edges.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and wipe door edges dry.

Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
If you manage property in Niddrie Mains, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips are filled and edges rebuilt.
- We sand the repair to the original profile.
- We colour-match to the sink glaze or door finish.
- The repair is polished or sealed.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Advice
What affects the price in Niddrie Mains
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How much damage there is
- The material
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole sink or cupboard door
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Niddrie Mains, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- 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’ll say what we think before you book.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Common problems we fix in Niddrie Mains
Ceramic sinks chip when pans and crockery are dropped, while doors take knocks from bins, chairs and hoovers.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Damage from fitting or moving appliances
- Cracks around the waste
- Dents and scuffs on cabinets
- Chips in ceramic sinks
What to look for in a quote

Niddrie Mains: your questions answered
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole sink or cupboard door and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a sink or door can mean disturbing the worktop, cabinets and plumbing, or finding a matching door that is been discontinued. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
