How we handle kitchen sink repair in Tain
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 usually needs re-wrapping; we fix chips, dents and local damage. Common call-outs are for damage from fitting or moving appliances and chipped door and drawer edges, in gloss and matt cupboard doors, composite sinks and ceramic Belfast & butler sinks.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Highland. Use a sink mat or bowl for heavy pans, and dry the door edges after spills.

How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by preparing the damage.
- Chips are filled and edges rebuilt.
- The repair is sanded to the original profile.
- The colour is matched to the sink or door finish.
- Finally we polish or seal it.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
What kitchen sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Common problems we fix in Tain
Dropped pans chip ceramic sinks, and cupboard doors get knocked by chairs, bins and vacuum cleaners.

- Chips in ceramic sinks
- Dents and scuffs on cabinets
- Damage from fitting or moving appliances
- Chipped door and drawer edges

- How the room is protected while they work
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Doors where the vinyl wrap has lifted across a large area
- Doors swollen by water
- Sinks cracked through the base
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Tain questions
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
