Kitchen sink repair at your home in Port Ellen
If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it normally needs re-wrapping; we repair chips and dents. We repair the damage and match the original finish, so you don’t need replacement parts. Our repair technicians work on ceramic Belfast & butler sinks, cabinet ends & plinths and vinyl-wrapped doors, and the jobs we see most are chipped door and drawer edges and dents and scuffs on cabinets.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

Your questions about kitchen sink repair in Port Ellen
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you fix kitchen doors?
Yes. Chips, dents and scuffs are repaired on most door finishes.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

How we price kitchen sink repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Doors where the vinyl wrap has lifted across a large area
- Doors swollen by water
- Sinks cracked through the base
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Cabinet ends & plinths
- Gloss and matt cupboard doors
- Composite sinks
- Vinyl-wrapped doors
- Ceramic Belfast & butler sinks
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Repairing versus replacing in Port Ellen
Replacing a sink or door can mean disturbing the worktop, cabinets and plumbing, or finding a matching door that’s been discontinued. A repair keeps your kitchen as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Port Ellen. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
