Kitchen sink repair at your home in Ravelston

We repair the damage and match the original finish, so you don’t need replacement parts. If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it usually needs re-wrapping; we repair chips and dents. We work on gloss and matt cupboard doors, cabinet ends & plinths and composite sinks, and the jobs we see most are chips in ceramic sinks and cracks around the waste.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and wipe door edges dry.

What affects the price in Ravelston

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the sink or cupboard door, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a sink or door can mean disturbing the worktop, cabinets and plumbing, or hunting for a door that’s no longer made. A repair keeps your kitchen as it is. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

When we would advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Doors where the vinyl wrap has lifted across a large area
  • Doors swollen by water
  • Sinks cracked through the base

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We start by preparing the damage.
  2. We fill chips and rebuild edges.
  3. The repair is sanded to the original profile.
  4. The colour is matched to the sink or door finish.
  5. Finally we polish or seal it.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How to compare quotes

Ravelston questions

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Edinburgh. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you repair a chipped Belfast sink?

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

Are there extra charges for Ravelston?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
