DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Kitchen sink repair at your home in St Leonard's

Repairs are matched to the original finish, so you do not need replacement parts. If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it normally needs re-wrapping; we fix chips, dents and local damage. Our technicians work on gloss and matt cupboard doors, ceramic Belfast & butler sinks and cabinet ends & plinths, and the jobs we see most are dents and scuffs on cabinets and chipped door and drawer edges.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Edinburgh. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and wipe door edges dry.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by preparing the damage.
  2. Chips are filled and edges rebuilt.
  3. We shape the repair to match the original.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze or door.
  5. We polish or seal the repair.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire sink or cupboard door, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
