Sink repairs are very common due to the hard usage that sinks have to endure. Things like dropping glass bottles, pots, and pans can easily chip or crack your sink. Using abrasive cleaners or soaps can dull your sink’s surface, making it more prone to dirt build-up. I’ve been repairing sinks for years and can provide full resurfacing for your sink when necessary. I do all my repairs on-site, and a typical sink repair only takes 1-2 hours. Your sink will be ready to use within 24 hours after repair, saving you time and avoiding replacement costs. This is the most cost-effective way to make your sink look brand new without the need for replacement. My repairs come with a 12-month warranty, and I’m fully insured. It won’t take long before your sink looks brand new again!
The most important part of a sink repair is accurately colour matching the new enamel paint to the shade of your sink. The colour matching is done by eye, mixing various tinters into the standard white enamel paint until it perfectly matches your sink. The repair will be obvious if the new paint doesn’t match your sink perfectly. Through years of experience, I’ve mastered this specialised skill in sink repairs. While sinks are generally white, the exact shade of white can differ greatly. The shade of white your sink has depends on the manufacturer, its age, usage, and factors like sun damage or chemical discoloration. I have to be very careful to get an accurate colour match whenever I do repairs. If you opt for a full sink resurfacing, I’ll spray it with a brilliant white finish to make it look as good as new.
I only use top-quality materials that you won't find in your local DIY store. To guarantee long-lasting repairs, I’ve sourced the best quality bonder and enamel paint. Having used the same materials for many years, I know they work and create lasting high-quality repairs every time. Some companies use cheaper materials to save money, but this can result in repairs that don’t last and poor outcomes. I offer a 12-month guarantee on all my repairs, unless otherwise noted.
When repairing a sink, the first thing I do is apply a special bonder to the damaged area before filling it in. After colour matching the new paint to your sink, I apply an additional layer of bonder before spraying on the new enamel. I use a fine spray gun to apply the new surface, which ensures the repair blends seamlessly.
Before I fix any damage on a sink, I always assess how serious the damage is to determine the right repair approach. In cases of minor chips or scratches, I can perform a quick chip repair that usually takes around 1-2 hours. In cases of more significant damage that spans a larger area, it’s best to resurface the entire sink. If there’s a major crack or hole, I can still fix it, though I may recommend replacing the sink if it’s causing structural problems. In this case, if I do the repair, I wouldn’t be able to offer a guarantee on it. But this is the worst-case scenario.
Most of my sink repairs can be completed in just 1-2 hours. This is a lot quicker than having to remove and replace your sink. Resurfacing a sink takes a day because I need to carefully mask off the room to avoid overspray. Once again, resurfacing is far quicker and more cost-effective than removing and replacing your sink. My work includes resurfacing antique sinks to restore their beauty and make them look like new. The detailing and features on antique sinks are often more beautiful than what you find on modern sinks. If you have a sink that needs saving, I can help you.
All of my repairs are done to a very high standard, and this is defined by creating a repair that will last and is not noticeable with normal usage. If you shine a torch over the repair, you might spot something, but this is rarely done in regular use. Reputable repair companies don’t promise invisible repairs, so be wary of companies that do as they likely won’t be in business for long.
Repairing your sink rather than replacing it will save you time, money, and is better for the environment. By choosing to repair your sink, you’re helping reduce waste at your local landfill site.
I’ve had customers ask if DIY Repair Kits would work for their sink repairs. The issue with DIY Repair Kits is that they include low-quality materials, which means the repair won’t last. The basic tinter in DIY kits makes it challenging to get an accurate colour match. You can absolutely give it a try if you feel confident, but I’ll be here to do a professional repair when you ask me.
How long can I expect my sink repair to last?
All of my sink repairs come with a 12-month guarantee. Your sink repair should last just as long as the sink itself, and any failure would occur within the first 12 months. If the sink has structural or significant damage, I can’t guarantee the repair, but I’ll inform you before we proceed. In these cases, I usually recommend replacing the sink, but if you prefer to keep your original sink, we can still help with the repair.
