Sink repairs are very common due to the hard usage that sinks have to endure. Sinks often get chips and cracks from dropped items like glass bottles, pots, or pans. 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. I do all my repairs on-site, and a typical sink repair only takes 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. I offer a 12-month guarantee on all my sink repairs, and I’m fully insured. Your sink will be as good as 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. A mismatch in the paint will make the repair noticeable. I’ve refined this specialised skill over many years of experience. Although sinks are often white, the specific shade of white can vary considerably. Different brands use different shades of white, and factors like age, usage, and exposure to chemicals or sunlight can all change the shade. I have to be very careful to get an accurate colour match whenever I do repairs. If you choose to have your whole sink resurfaced, I will spray it with a new brilliant white so it looks brand new again.
All my repairs are done with professional-grade materials that are not available at standard DIY stores. The bonder and enamel paint I use are the best quality, ensuring that all repairs are durable and long-lasting. With years of experience using these materials, I know they provide consistent, durable, and high-quality repairs. By using low-cost materials, some companies risk failed repairs and poor results. I offer a 12-month guarantee on all my repairs, unless otherwise noted.
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.
The first step in any sink repair is assessing the damage to figure out the best solution. When dealing with a few chips or scratches, I can fix them quickly with a chip repair that takes about 1-2 hours. For larger damage that covers a bigger area, resurfacing the entire sink is usually the best option. 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. In this case, if I do the repair, I wouldn’t be able to offer a guarantee on it. This is the worst-case scenario, though it’s rare.
Typically, my sink repairs take only 1-2 hours to complete. This is a lot quicker than having to remove and replace your sink. Resurfacing your sink will take a full day, as I spend time masking the room to protect from any overspray. Again, this is still so much faster and cheaper than ripping out and replacing your sink. I’ve successfully restored many antique sinks, resurfacing them to look like 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 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. Any reputable repair company will not guarantee an invisible repair, so be cautious of those who do as they likely won’t last long.
Choosing to repair your sink instead of replacing it will save both money and time, and it’s a more environmentally friendly option. Repairing your sink means you won’t be adding unnecessary waste to the landfill.
I’ve been asked by customers if DIY Repair Kits are a good option for repairing their sinks. The problem with DIY Repair Kits is that the materials are of poor quality, leading to a repair that 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 long can I expect my sink repair to last?
I guarantee all my sink repairs for 12 months. Repairs are designed to last as long as the sink itself, and if a failure occurs, it will happen within the first 12 months. I can’t offer a guarantee if there’s structural or extensive damage, and I’ll let you know before starting 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.
