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 Newington 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. After filling the damaged area, we sand it down to ensure a smooth surface with no bumps. 4. We then apply another layer of bonder over the filler. 5. The technician will now colour match the new enamel to your sink and spray this on using a fine spray gun. 6. Leave it for 24 hours to fully cure and set.
Ceramic sinks are composed of high-quality clay that undergoes firing at extremely high temperatures and is then coated with a durable, non-porous glaze or enamel porcelain layer.
Our expert repair process aims for high-quality results that you won't notice with regular use of your ceramic sink.
The materials we use ensure that the repairs are durable and can endure the normal usage of sinks, baths, or shower trays. Achieving a seamless blend of the repair into the surface takes significant skill and expertise. Repairing your sink is more cost-effective than removing and replacing the damaged sink, and it causes far less disruption. In some cases, where the damage is extensive, we may suggest resurfacing the sink. If there’s structural damage, replacing the sink would be the better option over repairing it. While DIY Repair Kits may seem like an option, they don’t create lasting repairs because of poor-quality materials and a difficult colour match process. We don’t suggest using them as they typically waste your money. It’s up to you, but there’s a reason professional repair companies like us continue to thrive.How much time does the repair usually take?
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.
