Need kitchen sink repair in South Gyle?

Kitchen sink repair in South Gyle without replacing anything

Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl generally need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. Repairs are matched to the original finish, so you do not need replacement parts. We’re often asked to fix chipped door and drawer edges and dents and scuffs on cabinets, across gloss and matt cupboard doors, ceramic Belfast & butler sinks and composite sinks.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Edinburgh. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and wipe door edges dry.

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by preparing the damage.
  2. Next we fill the chips and rebuild any edges.
  3. The repair is sanded to the original profile.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze or door.
  5. The repair is polished or sealed.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repair or replace in South Gyle?

Replacing a sink or door may mean disturbing the worktop and plumbing, or finding a matching door that’s been discontinued. A repair keeps your kitchen as it is. Our kitchen sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

What affects the price in South Gyle

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the whole sink or cupboard door
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole sink or cupboard door, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Ceramic Belfast & butler sinks
  • Cabinet ends & plinths
  • Vinyl-wrapped doors
  • Composite sinks
  • Gloss and matt cupboard doors
