Sink repairs are very common due to the hard usage that sinks have to endure. Glass bottles, pots, and pans are common culprits of chips and cracks on sink surfaces. Using abrasive cleaners or soaps can dull your sink’s surface, making it more prone to dirt build-up. With extensive experience in sink repairs, I can also resurface your sink for full restoration when required. I perform all repairs at your location, and most sink repairs are completed within 1-2 hours. Once the repair is completed, your sink will be ready to use again in 24 hours, saving you time and money. This is the most economical option for making your sink look new again without the expense of replacement. My sink repairs are guaranteed for 12 months and I’m fully insured. Your sink will be as good as new in no time!
A key element of a top-quality sink repair is ensuring the new enamel paint matches your existing sink perfectly. This process must be done by eye on the day of your repair, mixing various tinters into the standard white enamel paint until I get an exact match to your sink. If the paint doesn’t match your sink exactly, you’ll be able to see the repair. 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. It’s important to get an accurate colour match, and I’m very meticulous in doing so. If you decide to resurface your entire sink, I will apply a brilliant white finish to restore its original look.
The materials I use are high-quality and not available in your typical DIY store. For lasting repairs, I always use premium bonder and enamel paint. Since I’ve been using the same materials for years, I can trust that they create lasting, high-quality repairs every time. Other companies may try to cut costs with cheaper materials, but that can lead to failed repairs and subpar results. I offer a 12-month guarantee on all my repairs, unless otherwise noted.
The first step when I do a sink repair is to apply a special bonder to the damaged area and then fill in the damage. I colour match the paint to your sink, then apply a second layer of bonder before spraying the enamel. Using a fine spray gun to apply the new surface ensures the repair will blend in as seamlessly as possible.
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. If the damage is greater and covers a larger area of the sink, it would be best to resurface the whole sink. For a large crack or hole, I can repair it, but I might suggest replacing the sink due to potential structural issues. If I proceed with the repair in this situation, I cannot provide a guarantee. This is the worst-case scenario, though it’s rare.
The majority of my sink repairs will only take about 1-2 hours. This is much faster than removing your sink and replacing it. Resurfacing a sink takes a day because I need to carefully mask off the room to avoid overspray. Even so, this is still much faster and more affordable than replacing your sink. I’ve successfully restored many antique sinks, resurfacing them to look like new. Old antique sinks have beautiful details and features that are hard to find in modern models. I’m here to assist if your sink needs saving.
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 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. Be cautious of any repair companies that promise an invisible repair, as no reputable business would make such a guarantee.
Repairing your sink rather than replacing it will save you time, money, and is better for the environment. You won’t be adding more waste to your local landfill site when you choose to repair and restore your sink.
Some customers have asked about DIY Repair Kits and whether they can handle their repairs themselves. DIY Repair Kits use low-quality materials, so the repair is unlikely to last long. It is also very hard to get a true colour match with the basic tinter they supply. You’re welcome to give it a go if you feel confident, but I’m here to provide a professional repair when you need it.
How long will a sink repair last?
My sink repairs are all guaranteed for 12 months. 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. I can’t offer a guarantee if there’s structural or extensive damage, and I’ll let you know before starting the repair. When this occurs, I usually suggest replacing the sink, but if you want to preserve your original sink, I can still help with the repair.
