Kitchen sink repair in Polwarth without replacing anything
We repair the damage and match the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl typically need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. Whether it’s damage from fitting or moving appliances and chips in ceramic sinks, we can help, on gloss and matt cupboard doors, ceramic Belfast & butler sinks and composite sinks alike.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Polwarth as everywhere else we work. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

What kitchen sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Polwarth. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
