About our kitchen sink repair in Scottish Borders
Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl typically need re-wrapping or replacing; we fix chips, dents and local damage. We repair the damage and match the original finish, so you do not need replacement parts. Whether it’s dents and scuffs on cabinets and chipped door and drawer edges, we can help, whatever the material.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
