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. Harsh cleaners and soaps can erode the shiny surface of your sink, making it harder to clean and causing dirt to stick. I specialize in repairing sinks and can resurface the entire sink for a complete restoration. 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. This is the most economical option for making your sink look new again without the expense of replacement. My repairs come with a 12-month warranty, and I’m fully insured. It won’t take long before your sink looks brand new again!
For a flawless sink repair, it’s essential to match the new enamel paint to the existing sink colour. 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. If the new paint doesn't match your sink perfectly, you will notice the repair. I’ve refined this specialised skill over many years of experience. While sinks are generally white, the exact shade of white can differ greatly. The shade of white your sink has depends on the manufacturer, its age, usage, and factors like sun damage or chemical discoloration. 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.
All my repairs are done with professional-grade materials that are not available at standard DIY stores. I use only the highest quality bonder and enamel paint to ensure all repairs stand the test of time. 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 initial step in my sink repair process is to apply a unique bonder to the damaged area and then fill 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.
Before I fix any damage on a sink, I always assess how serious the damage is to determine the right repair approach. In cases of minor chips or scratches, I can perform a quick chip repair that usually takes around 1-2 hours. If the damage is greater and covers a larger area of the sink, it would be best to resurface the whole sink. 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. In this case, if I do the repair, I wouldn’t be able to offer a guarantee on it. However, this is a worst-case situation.
Most of my sink repairs can be completed in just 1-2 hours. Replacing your sink would take much longer than this repair. Resurfacing a sink takes a day because I need to carefully mask off the room to avoid overspray. Again, this is still so much faster and cheaper than ripping out and replacing your sink. I have done a lot of work restoring antique sinks to look brand new again by resurfacing them. These old antique sinks usually have beautiful detailing and features that you just don’t get on modern sinks. I’m here to assist if your sink needs saving.
I perform all my repairs to a very high standard, focusing on durability and making sure the repair isn’t noticeable during normal usage. While it’s possible to see something with a torch, it’s not common to use one when you’re using the sink as intended. 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.
By repairing your sink rather than replacing it, you'll save time, money, and reduce your environmental impact. By choosing to repair your sink, you’re helping reduce waste at your local landfill site.
Some people wonder if they can use DIY Repair Kits to fix their sinks on their own. 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 can absolutely give it a try if you feel confident, but I’ll be here to do a professional repair when you ask me.
What’s the expected lifespan of 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. I can’t offer a guarantee if there’s structural or extensive damage, and I’ll let you know before starting 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.
