How we handle kitchen sink repair in Stenhouse

If the vinyl wrap has lifted across a door, it typically needs re-wrapping; we fix chips, dents and local damage. We repair the damage and match the original finish, so you don’t need replacement parts. Typical jobs include chipped door and drawer edges and cracks around the waste, on vinyl-wrapped doors, ceramic Belfast & butler sinks and gloss and matt cupboard doors.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We start by preparing the damage.
  2. Next we fill the chips and rebuild any edges.
  3. We sand the repair to the original profile.
  4. We colour-match to the sink glaze or door finish.
  5. Finally we polish or seal it.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

Questions from Stenhouse

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can a chipped butler sink be fixed?

Yes. Chips to the rim, apron and around the waste are common repairs.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

How do I get a price for kitchen sink repair in Stenhouse?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your EH11 postcode.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Choosing a repair company

How we price kitchen sink repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole sink or cupboard door
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
