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. The use of strong cleaners and soaps can damage your sink’s finish, causing dirt to adhere and wear down its surface. With years of experience repairing sinks, I also offer full sink restorations through resurfacing. I perform all repairs at your location, and most sink repairs are completed within 1-2 hours. Your sink will be ready to use again in just 24 hours, saving both time and money compared to a full replacement. This is the most cost-effective way to make your sink look brand new without the need for replacement. I guarantee all my sink repairs for 12 months, and I’m fully insured for your peace of mind. Your sink will look brand new 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. This highly specialised skill has been developed over years of hands-on work. Although sinks are often white, the specific shade of white can vary considerably. 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. I pay close attention to get the perfect colour match whenever I perform repairs. When resurfacing your sink, I’ll apply a brilliant white coat to give it a brand-new appearance.
All my repairs are done with professional-grade materials that are not available at standard DIY stores. 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. Some companies use cheaper materials to save money, but this can result in repairs that don’t last and poor outcomes. I always provide a 12-month guarantee with my repairs, unless specifically stated 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. Once I’ve matched the paint, I apply a second layer of bonder and then spray on the enamel. Applying the new enamel with a fine spray gun guarantees that the repair blends in as smoothly 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. If the damage is just a few chips or scratches, I can handle it with a simple chip repair that takes only 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. But rest assured, this is an unlikely worst-case scenario.
The majority of my sink repairs will only take about 1-2 hours. Replacing your sink would take much longer than this repair. If you opt for a sink resurfacing, this will take me a full day to complete, due to the need to mask off the area for protection. This is still a much quicker and more affordable option than completely replacing your sink. I have experience restoring antique sinks and resurfacing them to make them look brand new. Antique sinks often have intricate detailing and unique features that modern sinks lack. 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. 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. A company that promises an invisible repair is likely not reputable, and they probably won’t be around for long.
Repairing your sink rather than replacing it will save you time, money, and is better for the environment. Repairing your sink helps cut down on waste and prevents more trash from going to the landfill.
I’ve had some customers ask me about DIY Repair Kits and if they could just do 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. Another problem is that the basic tinter included makes it difficult to achieve a true colour match. If you want to try it yourself, that’s fine, but I’ll be here for a professional repair when you ask.
What’s the expected lifespan of a sink repair?
Every sink repair I do is covered by a 12-month guarantee. 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. 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.
