Sink repairs are frequently needed because of the constant use they face. Accidental drops of glass bottles, pots, pans, etc, can all cause chips and cracks to the surface of 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 have been repairing sinks for many years and can also do full sink restorations by resurfacing the whole surface of your sink when needed. I perform all repairs at your location, and most sink repairs are completed within 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. All sink repairs come with a 12-month guarantee, and I’m fully insured. It won’t take long before your sink looks brand new again!
The most important part of a sink repair is accurately colour matching the new enamel paint to the shade of your 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. When the new paint isn’t a perfect match, the repair will be visible. This highly specialised skill has been developed over years of hands-on work. Even though white is the most common sink colour, the shade of white can vary widely. Different brands use different shades of white, and factors like age, usage, and exposure to chemicals or sunlight can all change the shade. Getting the exact colour match is crucial, so I’m very careful when doing repairs. If you opt for a full sink resurfacing, I’ll spray it with a brilliant white finish to make it look as good as new.
The materials I use are high-quality and not available in your typical DIY store. The bonder and enamel paint I use are the best quality, ensuring that all repairs are durable and long-lasting. Since I’ve been using the same materials for years, I can trust that they 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.
I begin a sink repair by applying a special bonder to the affected area and filling in the damage. I then colour match the new paint to your sink and apply another layer of bonder before spraying on the new enamel. To ensure a flawless finish, I use a fine spray gun when applying the new surface, so the repair blends in perfectly.
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. For minor chips or scratches, I can complete a quick chip repair in just 1-2 hours. If the damage is extensive and affects a large portion of the sink, resurfacing the whole sink would be the most effective solution. For a large crack or hole, I can repair it, but I might suggest replacing the sink due to potential structural issues. In this case, any repair I do will not come with a guarantee. But this is the worst-case scenario.
Most sink repairs I perform take around 1-2 hours. It’s far quicker than the process 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. Once again, resurfacing is far quicker and more cost-effective than removing and replacing your sink. I have done a lot of work restoring antique sinks to look brand new again by resurfacing them. Antique sinks often have intricate detailing and unique features that modern sinks lack. If your sink is in need of repair, I can help restore it.
My repairs are always done to the highest standard, ensuring longevity and that they remain inconspicuous with regular use. 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. 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. By choosing to repair your sink, you’re helping reduce waste at your local landfill site.
I’ve had customers ask if DIY Repair Kits would work for their sink repairs. DIY Repair Kits use low-quality materials, so the repair is unlikely to last long. 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?
Each of my sink repairs is backed by a 12-month guarantee. Sink repairs should last for as long as the rest of the sink itself, and in the unlikely event that one of our repairs fails, it will do so within the first 12 months. The only time I can't offer a guarantee on a repair is if there is structural damage or extensive damage, and in this case, I'll make sure you know that I can't offer a guarantee before you go ahead with the repair. I often recommend replacing the sink when this happens, but if you wish to keep your original sink, we can still repair it.
