Kitchen sink repair at your home in Smailholm
Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl typically need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. We repair the damage and match the original finish, so the kitchen stays as it is. If you are dealing with chips in ceramic sinks and damage from fitting or moving appliances, we can help.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and wipe door edges dry.

How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and prepared.
- Next we fill the chips and rebuild any edges.
- The repair is sanded to the original profile.
- We match the colour to the glaze or door.
- We polish or seal the repair.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price

Smailholm: your questions answered
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Do you fix kitchen doors?
Yes. We repair chips, dents and scuffs on most door finishes.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- 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 before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic Belfast & butler sinks
- Composite sinks
- Gloss and matt cupboard doors
- Cabinet ends & plinths
- Vinyl-wrapped doors
