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. Harsh cleaning products gradually dull the surface of your sink, making it harder to maintain and clean. I’ve been repairing sinks for years and can provide full resurfacing for your sink when necessary. All of my work is done in-situ, and a normal sink repair will only take about 1-2 hours! Once the repair is completed, your sink will be ready to use again in 24 hours, saving you time and money. Repairing and resurfacing is the most affordable way to restore your sink’s appearance without replacing it. My repairs come with a 12-month warranty, and I’m fully insured. Your sink will look brand new in no time!
A crucial part of a successful sink repair is matching the new enamel paint to the exact colour of your existing sink. 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. A mismatch in the paint will make the repair noticeable. This is a very specialised skill that I have perfected after many years of application. Even though most sinks are white, there is a huge variation in what shade of white your sink may be. 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 choose to have your whole sink resurfaced, I will spray it with a new brilliant white so it looks brand new again.
All my repairs are done with professional-grade materials that are not available at standard DIY stores. 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. 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.
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.
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. In cases of more significant damage that spans a larger area, it’s best to resurface the entire sink. 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. If I repair it in this situation, I can’t offer a guarantee. This is the worst-case scenario, though it’s rare.
Most sink repairs I perform take around 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. 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. Antique sinks typically feature intricate detailing that is not found on most modern sinks. I’m here to assist if your sink needs saving.
I ensure all my repairs are completed to the highest standard, focusing on durability and making sure they aren’t visible with normal use. 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.
By repairing your sink rather than replacing it, you'll save time, money, and reduce your environmental impact. 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. DIY Repair Kits often include poor-quality materials that won’t provide a lasting repair. 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.
How long will a sink repair last?
I guarantee all my sink repairs 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. If there’s structural or extensive damage, I can’t offer a guarantee, but I will inform you of this before proceeding with the repair. In these cases, I usually recommend replacing the sink, but if you prefer to keep your original sink, we can still help with the repair.
