Due to regular use, sinks often require repairs, especially after damage. Accidents like dropping glass bottles, pots, and pans can lead to chips and cracks on your sink. Things like using harsh cleaners and soaps will slowly erode the shiny surface of your sink, making dirt stick to it and compromising its top layer. With extensive experience in sink repairs, I can also resurface your sink for full restoration when required. All repairs are completed on-site, and a standard sink repair takes just 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 sink repairs are guaranteed for 12 months 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. This process requires mixing tinters into white enamel paint by eye until an exact match to your sink’s colour is achieved. The repair will be obvious if the new paint doesn’t match your sink perfectly. This is a very specialised skill that I have perfected after many years of application. Even though white is the most common sink colour, the shade of white can vary widely. Your sink’s exact shade of white depends on the manufacturer and factors like age, usage, and chemical or sunlight exposure. I pay close attention to get the perfect colour match whenever I perform 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. I’ve sourced the best quality bonder and enamel paint to ensure all my repairs last. 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 always provide a 12-month guarantee with my repairs, unless specifically stated otherwise.
I begin a sink repair by applying a special bonder to the affected area and filling in the damage. Next, I colour match the new paint to your sink and apply another layer of bonder before spraying on the enamel. Using a fine spray gun to apply the new surface ensures the repair will blend in as seamlessly as possible.
Whenever I encounter damage on a sink, I have to make sure I know how bad the damage is so I can determine the best way to fix it. In cases of minor chips or scratches, I can perform a quick chip repair that usually takes around 1-2 hours. For larger damage that covers a bigger area, resurfacing the entire sink is usually the best option. If there’s a major crack or hole, I can still fix it, though I may recommend replacing the sink if it’s causing structural problems. In this case, any repair I do will not come with a guarantee. But rest assured, this is an unlikely worst-case scenario.
The average sink repair takes only 1-2 hours. This is a lot quicker than having to remove and replace your sink. Resurfacing your sink will take a full day, as I spend time masking the room to protect from any overspray. This process is still much quicker and cheaper compared to ripping out and replacing your sink. I have done a lot of work restoring antique sinks to look brand new again by resurfacing them. The detailing and features on antique sinks are often more beautiful than what you find on modern sinks. 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 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. Reputable repair companies don’t promise invisible repairs, so be wary of companies that do as they likely won’t be in business for long.
Repairing your sink rather than replacing it will save you time, money, and is better for the environment. Repairing your sink means you won’t be adding unnecessary waste to the landfill.
Some customers have asked about DIY Repair Kits and whether they can handle their repairs themselves. The problem with DIY Repair Kits is that the materials are of poor quality, leading to a repair that won't last. It’s hard to achieve a true colour match with the basic tinter that’s supplied in 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.
What’s the expected lifespan of a sink repair?
My sink repairs are all guaranteed for 12 months. Repairs are designed to last as long as the sink itself, and if a failure occurs, it will happen 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. I often recommend replacing the sink when this happens, but if you wish to keep your original sink, we can still repair it.
