Ceramic sinks are more porous than composite or porcelain sinks. For this reason, when you chip or crack a ceramic sink, it's important to have it repaired straight away so the damaged area does not start to absorb water and develop mould or worsen the damage. Chips and cracks are easy to repair with our specialised step-by-step procedure. We have been repairing damage to ceramic sinks for many years, so we know how to get your ceramic sink back to its former glory again fast! We are based in Gilmerton so we can get to you quickly when you need a ceramic sink repair.
1. We will assess what type of damage your sink has and decide on the best way to repair it.
2. The damaged area is treated with a specialised bonder to guarantee the next layer sticks properly. 3. The damaged area is carefully filled and smoothed over. 4. After the filler, another layer of bonder is applied. 5. The technician will colour match the new enamel to your sink and carefully spray it on using a fine spray gun. 6. Leave it for 24 hours to fully cure and set.
Ceramic sinks are made from a mixture of high-quality clay which is fired at extremely high temperatures and then coated with a durable and non-porous glaze or enamel porcelain coating.
We strive to provide a top-quality repair for your ceramic sink that remains unnoticeable during everyday use.
Our repair materials are chosen to ensure that the repair is long-lasting, capable of withstanding the daily use of sinks, baths, or shower trays. The process of blending a repair into the surface requires a high level of expertise to make the repair as seamless as possible. Repairing your sink is always more cost-effective than replacing the entire unit. It also causes much less disruption compared to a full replacement. In cases of severe damage, we might suggest resurfacing the sink. However, for structural damage, we would recommend replacing the sink instead of attempting a repair. DIY Repair Kits generally don’t provide long-lasting repairs as the materials they include are subpar and matching the colour is challenging. We don’t recommend them as they often end up being a waste of money. It’s your choice to try them, but the reason we remain in business as professional repair experts is clear.What is the estimated time for the repair?
For a simple chip repair or two, it should take about 1-2 hours to do the repair. For a larger crack repair or hole repair, then this will take longer, and a sink resurfacing will take about 4-5 hours to complete. With all our repairs, they need to be left for 24 hours before using the sink so the repair can fully cure and harden.
