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 the extent of the damage to your sink and choose the best repair solution.
2. The damaged area is treated with a specialised bonder to guarantee the next layer sticks properly. 3. The damaged area is filled and sanded down so the surface is smooth without any bumps. 4. We then apply another layer of bonder over the filler. 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.
Made from a mixture of high-quality clay, ceramic sinks are fired at very high temperatures and then coated with a durable, non-porous glaze or enamel porcelain coating.
We aim to achieve a high-quality expert repair to your ceramic sink that you won't be able to notice with normal usage.
The materials we use for our repairs ensure that it is a long and lasting repair, that can withstand the usage a sink, bath, or shower tray would be expected to receive. Blending a repair into the surface takes a lot of skill and expertise to make sure it is as seamless as possible. Having your sink repaired will always be more cost-effective than ripping out your damaged sink and replacing it. There is much less disruption when a repair is done instead of replacing it. Occasionally, when the damage is extensive, we may recommend resurfacing your sink. If the damage is structural, we will most likely recommend replacing the sink rather than repairing it. DIY Repair Kits aren’t effective for long-lasting repairs as the materials they provide are of poor quality and it’s difficult to get a perfect colour match. We advise against using them as they often end up being a waste of money. You can try them if you want, but there’s a reason why professional repair companies like us are still around.What’s the typical time frame for completing the repair?
A chip repair or two should take about 1-2 hours, but larger crack or hole repairs will take longer. Sink resurfacing will take approximately 4-5 hours to finish. After all repairs, we recommend waiting 24 hours for the repair to fully cure and harden before using the sink.
