Sink repairs are frequently needed because of the constant use they face. 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. With years of experience repairing sinks, I also offer full sink restorations through resurfacing. I handle all repairs in your home, and a regular sink repair will take just 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. All sink repairs come with a 12-month guarantee, and I’m fully insured. Your sink will be restored to its original condition in no time!
One of the most important parts of a great sink repair is to accurately colour match the new enamel paint to your existing 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. I’ve refined this specialised skill over many years of experience. Even though white is the most common sink colour, the shade of white can vary widely. 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. Getting the exact colour match is crucial, so I’m very careful when doing repairs. 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. 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 stand by my work with a 12-month guarantee on all repairs, unless specified otherwise.
I begin a sink repair by applying a special bonder to the affected area and filling 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. When dealing with a few chips or scratches, I can fix them quickly with a chip repair that takes about 1-2 hours. If the damage is extensive and affects a large portion of the sink, resurfacing the whole sink would be the most effective solution. If the sink has a large crack or hole, I can repair it, but it might be better to replace the sink if it's leading to structural concerns. If I proceed with the repair in this situation, I cannot provide a guarantee. But this is the worst-case scenario.
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. 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. Even so, this is still much faster and more affordable than replacing your sink. Restoring antique sinks by resurfacing them is something I do regularly, bringing them back to their original beauty. Old antique sinks have beautiful details and features that are hard to find in modern models. If your sink is in need of repair, I can help restore it.
Every repair I do is completed to a high standard, ensuring it lasts and blends in with regular 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. Be cautious of any repair companies that promise an invisible repair, as no reputable business would make such a guarantee.
Opting to repair your sink instead of replacing it saves time, money, and helps the environment. When you repair and restore your sink, you’ll avoid contributing more waste to your local landfill.
Some customers have asked about DIY Repair Kits and whether they can handle their repairs themselves. The problem is the DIY Repair Kits only come with poor quality materials, so the repair won’t last. The basic tinter in DIY kits makes it challenging to get an accurate colour match. 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.
What’s the expected lifespan of a sink repair?
All of my sink repairs come with a 12-month guarantee. Sink repairs should last for as long as the rest of the sink itself, and in the unlikely event that one of our repairs fails, it will do so within the first 12 months. The only time I can't offer a guarantee on a repair is if there is structural damage or extensive damage, and in this case, I'll make sure you know that I can't offer a guarantee before you go ahead with the repair. I often recommend replacing the sink when this happens, but if you wish to keep your original sink, we can still repair it.
