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 specialize in repairing sinks and can resurface the entire sink for a complete restoration. I handle all repairs in your home, and a regular sink repair will take just 1-2 hours. In just 24 hours, you can use your sink again, avoiding the hassle and cost of replacement. 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. Your sink will be looking brand new again 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. 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. If the paint doesn’t match your sink exactly, you’ll be able to see the repair. I’ve refined this specialised skill over many years of experience. Although sinks are often white, the specific shade of white can vary considerably. Different brands use different shades of white, and factors like age, usage, and exposure to chemicals or sunlight can all change the shade. Ensuring an accurate colour match is essential, and I take great care when performing sink 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. 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. By using low-cost materials, some companies risk failed repairs and poor results. Every repair I do comes with a 12-month guarantee, unless stated otherwise.
The repair process starts with applying a special bonder to the damaged area and filling it in. I then colour match the new paint to your sink and apply another 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.
The first step in any sink repair is assessing the damage to figure out the best solution. In cases of minor chips or scratches, I can perform a quick chip repair that usually takes around 1-2 hours. When the damage is widespread, resurfacing the sink is typically the best choice. 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. This situation is the worst-case scenario.
Typically, my sink repairs take only 1-2 hours to complete. This is much faster than the hassle of removing and replacing your sink. Resurfacing your sink will take a full day, as I spend time masking the room to protect from any 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. 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.
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. You might be able to spot something with a torch, but that’s not something you’d typically do when using your sink normally. 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. Repairing your sink helps cut down on waste and prevents more trash from going to the landfill.
Some customers have asked about DIY Repair Kits and whether they can handle their repairs themselves. DIY Repair Kits often include poor-quality materials that won’t provide a lasting repair. 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 durable is a sink repair?
Each of my sink repairs is backed by a 12-month guarantee. A proper sink repair should last as long as the rest of the sink, and if one of our repairs fails, it will most likely happen 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. I often recommend replacing the sink when this happens, but if you wish to keep your original sink, we can still repair it.
