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. Harsh cleaners and soaps can erode the shiny surface of your sink, making it harder to clean and causing dirt to stick. I have been repairing sinks for many years and can also do full sink restorations by resurfacing the whole surface of your sink when needed. I do all my repairs on-site, and a typical sink repair only takes 1-2 hours. You’ll be able to use your sink again 24 hours later, saving you time and money on having it replaced. Repairing and resurfacing your sink is the most economical way to restore it to like-new condition without replacing it. My repairs come with a 12-month warranty, and I’m fully insured. Your sink will be as good as new in no time!
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. When the new paint isn’t a perfect match, the repair will be visible. This highly specialised skill has been developed over years of hands-on work. Even though most sinks are white, there is a huge variation in what shade of white your sink may be. Different manufacturers use different shades, and factors like the age of the sink, how much usage it’s had, and if it has been discoloured by chemicals or sunlight can all affect the final colour. I have to be very careful to get an accurate colour match whenever I do repairs. When resurfacing your sink, I’ll apply a brilliant white coat to give it a brand-new appearance.
I rely on professional-grade materials that are not found in your local DIY store. I’ve sourced the best quality bonder and enamel paint to ensure all my repairs last. I’ve relied on these materials for years, and they consistently create durable, top-quality repairs. Unlike other companies that use cheaper materials, I only use top-quality products to ensure repairs won’t fail. I always provide a 12-month guarantee with my repairs, unless specifically stated otherwise.
The initial step in my sink repair process is to apply a unique bonder to the damaged area and then fill the damage. Next, I colour match the new paint to your sink and apply another layer of bonder before spraying on the enamel. The use of a fine spray gun helps the new surface blend into the existing sink, creating a seamless repair.
The first step in any sink repair is assessing the damage to figure out the best solution. If the damage is just a few chips or scratches, I can handle it with a simple chip repair that takes only 1-2 hours. For larger damage that covers a bigger area, resurfacing the entire sink is usually the best option. For a large crack or hole, I can repair it, but I might suggest replacing the sink due to potential structural issues. If I repair it in this situation, I can’t offer a guarantee. However, this is a worst-case situation.
Typically, my sink repairs take only 1-2 hours to complete. This is much faster than removing your sink and replacing it. If you want to have your sink resurfaced, then this will take me a day to do, as I need to spend a lot of time masking off the rest of the room to protect it from overspray. This is still a much quicker and more affordable option than completely replacing your sink. My work includes resurfacing antique sinks to restore their beauty and make them look like new. Antique sinks often have intricate detailing and unique features that modern sinks lack. If you have a sink that needs attention, I’m here to provide help.
I ensure all my repairs are completed to the highest standard, focusing on durability and making sure they aren’t visible with normal use. If you were to shine a torch over the surface, you might notice something, but this isn't something you'd typically do while using your sink. A company that promises an invisible repair is likely not reputable, and they probably won’t be around for long.
Choosing to repair your sink instead of replacing it will save both money and time, and it’s a more environmentally friendly option. When you repair and restore your sink, you’ll avoid contributing more waste to your local landfill.
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. It’s hard to achieve a true colour match with the basic tinter that’s supplied in these kits. Feel free to try it yourself if you feel up to it, but I’ll be here for a professional repair when you’re ready.
How long will a sink repair last?
Every sink repair I do is covered by a 12-month guarantee. Repairs should last as long as the sink itself, and in the unlikely case that one fails, it will 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. When this happens, I usually recommend replacing the sink, but if you want to keep your original sink, we can still help you repair it.
