Kitchen sink repair in Oxgangs, done in place
We repair the damage and match the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it typically needs re-wrapping; we repair chips and dents. We’re frequently asked to fix damage from fitting or moving appliances and chips in ceramic sinks, on ceramic Belfast & butler sinks, gloss and matt cupboard doors and composite sinks.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

Questions from Oxgangs
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Are there extra charges for Oxgangs?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What does kitchen sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Oxgangs and the rest of Edinburgh. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
How we price kitchen sink repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole sink or cupboard door
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Oxgangs, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Common problems we fix in Oxgangs
Dropped pans chip ceramic sinks, and cupboard doors get knocked by chairs, bins and vacuum cleaners.

What your quote should include

Landlord and trade work in Oxgangs
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
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.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Repairing versus replacing in Oxgangs
Replacing a sink or door can mean disturbing the worktop, cabinets and plumbing, or hunting for a door that is no longer made. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
