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!

Expert Ceramic Sink Repair Colour Matching

Ceramic sinks can come in many colours, but white is the most common. What many don’t realise is that there are numerous shades of white, so we always match repairs to the exact shade of your sink. This requires a high level of skill. For coloured ceramic sinks, we can also match the repair to the specific colour of your sink.

When you have a few chips, scratches, or a small crack in your sink, that’s the ideal type of damage for repair. We can easily fix these localized issues.

For sinks with extensive damage, such as multiple chips or cracks covering a large area, resurfacing is the ideal solution. This process applies a fresh surface over your sink, making it look like new again. Additionally, if you want to change the colour of your ceramic sink, we can apply a different shade for a fresh look.

All of the paints are professional grade to make sure that our repairs last for as long as possible. The process of colour matching is done using special tinters which are added to the base colour till a new colour is created that matches your sink perfectly.

The Basic Step-by-Step Procedure:

1. First, we assess the damage to your sink and then select the most effective way to repair it.

2. A specialised bonder is applied to the damaged area to ensure the next layer bonds securely.

3. The damaged area is filled and sanded down so the surface is smooth without any bumps.

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 undisturbed for 24 hours to ensure it fully cures and sets.

Sink Crack Repair for Stainless Steel Sinks

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.

We strive to provide a top-quality repair for your ceramic sink that remains unnoticeable during everyday use.

We use materials that guarantee a long-lasting repair, capable of withstanding the normal usage expected of sinks, baths, and shower trays. Repairing and blending the damage into the surface requires skill to ensure the repair is as seamless as possible. Repairing your sink is far more cost-effective than replacing it, and it minimizes the disruption compared to a full replacement. If the damage is severe, resurfacing may be recommended, but for structural damage, replacement is often the best solution.

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.

How long will the repair take?

For smaller chip repairs, the process usually takes 1-2 hours, but larger crack or hole repairs will take longer. Sink resurfacing typically requires 4-5 hours. All repairs need 24 hours to cure and harden before the sink can be used again.
