Sinks often require repairs due to the heavy usage they undergo. Accidental drops of glass bottles, pots, pans, etc, can all cause chips and cracks to the surface of your sink. Harsh cleaning products gradually dull the surface of your sink, making it harder to maintain and clean. 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. 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 key element of a top-quality sink repair is ensuring the new enamel paint matches your existing sink perfectly. 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. When the new paint isn’t a perfect match, the repair will be visible. I’ve perfected this skill after years of repairing sinks and colour matching. Even though most sinks are white, there is a huge variation in what shade of white your sink may be. Manufacturers use varying shades of white, and the sink’s age, usage, and exposure to chemicals or sunlight will affect its shade. 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. I’ve sourced the best quality bonder and enamel paint to ensure all my repairs last. With years of experience using these materials, I know they provide consistent, durable, and high-quality repairs. 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. 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.
When I come across sink damage, I first assess how severe it is so I can decide on the best repair method. When dealing with a few chips or scratches, I can fix them quickly with a chip repair that takes about 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. 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 of my sink repairs can be completed in just 1-2 hours. This is much faster than removing your sink and replacing it. Resurfacing your sink will take a full day, as I spend time masking the room to protect from any overspray. 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. 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. Any reputable repair company will not guarantee an invisible repair, so be cautious of those who do as they likely won’t last long.
Having your sink repaired instead of replacing it will save you money, time, and is environmentally friendly. You won’t be adding more waste to your local landfill site when you choose to repair and restore your sink.
Some people wonder if they can use DIY Repair Kits to fix their sinks on their own. The problem with DIY Repair Kits is that the materials are of poor quality, leading to a repair that won't last. It is also very hard to get a true colour match with the basic tinter they supply. 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.
What’s the expected lifespan of a sink repair?
All of my sink repairs come with 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. 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.
