Sink repairs are very common due to the hard usage that sinks have to endure. Things like dropping glass bottles, pots, and pans can easily chip or crack your sink. Using abrasive cleaners or soaps can dull your sink’s surface, making it more prone to dirt build-up. With years of experience repairing sinks, I also offer full sink restorations through resurfacing. All of my work is done in-situ, and a normal sink repair will only take about 1-2 hours! Your sink will be ready to use within 24 hours after repair, saving you time and avoiding replacement costs. This is the most cost-effective way to make your sink look brand new without the need for replacement. My sink repairs are guaranteed for 12 months and I’m fully insured. It won’t take long before your sink looks brand new again!
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. A mismatch in the paint will make the repair noticeable. This highly specialised skill has been developed over years of hands-on work. Most sinks are white, but there is actually a significant variation in their exact shade of white. 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. When resurfacing your sink, I’ll apply a brilliant white coat to give it a brand-new appearance.
I only use top-quality materials that you won't find in your local DIY store. I’ve sourced the best quality bonder and enamel paint to ensure all my repairs last. I’ve relied on these materials for years, and they consistently create durable, top-quality repairs. Unlike other companies that use cheaper materials, I only use top-quality products to ensure repairs won’t fail. I always provide a 12-month guarantee with my repairs, unless specifically 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. The use of a fine spray gun helps the new surface blend into the existing sink, creating a seamless repair.
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 there are just a few chips or scratches, then I can do a simple chip repair that only takes about 1-2 hours. In cases of more significant damage that spans a larger area, it’s best to resurface the entire sink. 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. 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 process is still much quicker and cheaper compared to ripping out and replacing your sink. I have experience restoring antique sinks and resurfacing them to make them look brand new. These old antique sinks usually have beautiful detailing and features that you just don’t get on modern sinks. If your sink is in need of repair, I can help restore it.
All of my repairs are done to a very high standard, and this is defined by creating a repair that will last and is not noticeable with normal usage. If you shine a torch over the repair, you might spot something, but this is rarely done in regular use. A company that promises an invisible repair is likely not reputable, and they probably won’t be around for long.
Opting to repair your sink instead of replacing it saves time, money, and helps the environment. You won’t be adding more waste to your local landfill site when you choose to repair and restore your sink.
Some customers have asked about DIY Repair Kits and whether they can handle their repairs themselves. The issue with DIY Repair Kits is that they include low-quality materials, which means the repair won’t last. It’s hard to achieve a true colour match with the basic tinter that’s supplied in these kits. 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.
How durable is a sink repair?
I guarantee all my sink repairs for 12 months. Repairs should last as long as the sink itself, and in the unlikely case that one fails, it will occur 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. When this occurs, I usually suggest replacing the sink, but if you want to preserve your original sink, I can still help with the repair.
