It’s common for sinks to need repairs due to the daily wear and tear they experience. Accidental drops of glass bottles, pots, pans, etc, can all cause chips and cracks to the surface of your sink. Things like using harsh cleaners and soaps will slowly erode the shiny surface of your sink, making dirt stick to it and compromising its top layer. 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 within 24 hours after repair, saving you time and avoiding replacement costs. 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!
A key element of a top-quality sink repair is ensuring the new enamel paint matches your existing sink perfectly. 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. Through years of experience, I’ve mastered this specialised skill in sink repairs. Although sinks are often white, the specific shade of white can vary considerably. Your sink’s exact shade of white depends on the manufacturer and factors like age, usage, and chemical or sunlight exposure. It’s important to get an accurate colour match, and I’m very meticulous in doing so. When resurfacing your sink, I’ll apply a brilliant white coat to give it a brand-new appearance.
The materials I use are high-quality and not available in your typical DIY store. I use only the highest quality bonder and enamel paint to ensure all repairs stand the test of time. Since I’ve been using the same materials for years, I can trust that they create lasting, high-quality repairs every time. 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. After colour matching the new paint to your sink, I apply an additional layer of bonder before spraying on the new enamel. The use of a fine spray gun helps the new surface blend into the existing sink, creating a seamless repair.
Before I fix any damage on a sink, I always assess how serious the damage is to determine the right repair approach. 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. This is the worst-case scenario, though it’s rare.
The average sink repair takes only 1-2 hours. This is much faster than the hassle of removing and replacing your sink. Resurfacing a sink takes a day because I need to carefully mask off the room to avoid overspray. Once again, resurfacing is far quicker and more cost-effective than removing and replacing your sink. Restoring antique sinks by resurfacing them is something I do regularly, bringing them back to their original beauty. Antique sinks typically feature intricate detailing that is not found on most modern sinks. I’m here to assist if your sink needs saving.
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. 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. No reputable repair company will promise you an invisible repair, so be wary of any companies that do, because they probably won’t be in business for long.
Having your sink repaired instead of replacing it will save you money, time, and is environmentally friendly. Repairing your sink means you won’t be adding unnecessary waste to the landfill.
Some people wonder if they can use DIY Repair Kits to fix their sinks on their own. The issue with DIY Repair Kits is that they include low-quality materials, which means the repair won’t last. The basic tinter in DIY kits makes it challenging to get an accurate colour match. If you want to try it yourself, that’s fine, but I’ll be here for a professional repair when you ask.
How durable is a sink repair?
Each of my sink repairs is backed by a 12-month guarantee. 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.
