Kitchen sink repair at your home in Slateford
Repairs are matched to the original finish, so you do not need replacement parts. Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl generally need re-wrapping or replacing; we fix chips, dents and local damage. We work on vinyl-wrapped doors, gloss and matt cupboard doors and ceramic Belfast & butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are dents and scuffs on cabinets and cracks around the waste.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. 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 wipe door edges dry.

How we price kitchen sink repair
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Slateford. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What a repair cannot fix
We’ll 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think.
