Sinks often require repairs due to the heavy usage they undergo. Accidental drops of glass bottles, pots, pans, etc, can all cause chips and cracks to the surface of your sink. The use of strong cleaners and soaps can damage your sink’s finish, causing dirt to adhere and wear down its surface. With years of experience repairing sinks, I also offer full sink restorations through resurfacing. I perform all repairs at your location, and most sink repairs are completed within 1-2 hours. Your sink will be ready to use again in just 24 hours, saving both time and money compared to a full replacement. It’s the most economical way to get a brand-new looking sink again without having to actually replace it. My repairs come with a 12-month warranty, and I’m fully insured. Your sink will be looking brand new again in no time!
A key element of a top-quality sink repair is ensuring the new enamel paint matches your existing sink perfectly. On the day of the repair, I mix different tinters into the standard white enamel paint by eye until it matches your sink’s shade exactly. When the new paint isn’t a perfect match, the repair will be visible. I’ve perfected this skill after years of repairing sinks and colour matching. Although sinks are often white, the specific shade of white can vary considerably. 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 pay close attention to get the perfect colour match whenever I perform 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. I’ve sourced the best quality bonder and enamel paint to ensure all my repairs last. With years of experience using these materials, I know they provide consistent, durable, and high-quality repairs. Some companies use cheaper materials to save money, but this can result in repairs that don’t last and poor outcomes. Every repair I do comes with a 12-month guarantee, unless stated otherwise.
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. Applying the new enamel with a fine spray gun guarantees that the repair blends in as smoothly as possible.
When I come across sink damage, I first assess how severe it is so I can decide on the best repair method. If there are just a few chips or scratches, then I can do a simple chip repair that only takes about 1-2 hours. In cases of more significant damage that spans a larger area, it’s best to resurface the entire sink. For a large crack or hole, I can repair it, but I might suggest replacing the sink due to potential structural issues. Should I choose to repair it, I won’t be able to offer a guarantee on the work. 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 the hassle of removing and replacing your sink. Should you choose to resurface your sink, it will take about a day, as I must carefully mask off the surrounding room to prevent 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 typically feature intricate detailing that is not found on most modern sinks. If you need a sink restored or repaired, I’m here to help.
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 get out a torch and shine it over the surface, you may be able to see something, but this is not very common when using your sink normally. Any reputable repair company will not guarantee an invisible repair, so be cautious of those who do as they likely won’t last long.
Repairing your sink rather than replacing it will save you time, money, and is better for the environment. When you repair and restore your sink, you’ll avoid contributing more waste to your local landfill.
I’ve had some customers ask me about DIY Repair Kits and if they could just do their repairs themselves. The issue with DIY Repair Kits is that they include low-quality materials, which means the repair won’t last. Getting a proper colour match is difficult with the basic tinter that comes with these kits. If you’re confident, you can certainly give it a try, but I’ll be here to do a professional repair whenever you need one.
How long will a sink repair last?
Each of my sink repairs is backed 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. In cases of structural or extensive damage, I can’t provide a guarantee, but I’ll make sure to let you know before proceeding. 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.
