How we handle kitchen sink repair in Southhouse

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 typically needs re-wrapping; we repair chips and dents. We’re frequently asked to fix chips in ceramic sinks and cracks around the waste, in composite sinks, cabinet ends & plinths and ceramic Belfast & butler sinks.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and wipe door edges dry.

Should you replace it?

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. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Take a look at our pricing.

How we price kitchen sink repair

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Southhouse. What changes the price is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the entire sink or cupboard door
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Landlord and trade work in Southhouse

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Edinburgh and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours.

  1. We clean and prepare the damaged area.
  2. Next we fill the chips and rebuild any edges.
  3. We shape the repair to match the original.
  4. We colour-match to the sink glaze or door finish.
  5. Finally we polish or seal it.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the sink or cupboard door, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
