Sinks often require repairs due to the heavy usage they undergo. Accidents like dropping glass bottles, pots, and pans can lead to chips and cracks on 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. I’ve been repairing sinks for years and can provide full resurfacing for your sink when necessary. I do all my repairs on-site, and a typical sink repair only takes 1-2 hours. You’ll be able to use your sink again 24 hours later, saving you time and money on having it replaced. It’s the most economical way to get a brand-new looking sink again without having to actually replace it. My sink repairs are guaranteed for 12 months and I’m fully insured. Your sink will look brand new in no time!
A crucial part of a successful sink repair is matching the new enamel paint to the exact colour of your existing sink. The colour matching is done by eye, mixing various tinters into the standard white enamel paint until it perfectly matches your sink. If the paint doesn’t match your sink exactly, you’ll be able to see the repair. This is a very specialised skill that I have perfected after many years of application. Although sinks are often white, the specific shade of white can vary considerably. 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. 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.
I always use professional-grade materials that aren't available at your local DIY store. The bonder and enamel paint I use are the best quality, ensuring that all repairs are durable and long-lasting. I’ve trusted these materials for years, and they always produce long-lasting, high-quality results. By using low-cost materials, some companies risk failed repairs and poor results. Every repair I do comes with a 12-month guarantee, unless stated otherwise.
I begin a sink repair by applying a special bonder to the affected area and filling in the damage. Once I’ve matched the paint, I apply a second layer of bonder and then spray on the enamel. Using a fine spray gun to apply the new surface ensures the repair will blend in as seamlessly as possible.
When I come across sink damage, I first assess how severe it is so I can decide on the best repair method. For minor chips or scratches, I can complete a quick chip repair in just 1-2 hours. When the damage is widespread, resurfacing the sink is typically the best choice. If the sink has a large crack or hole, I can repair it, but it might be better to replace the sink if it's leading to structural concerns. If I repair it in this situation, I can’t offer a guarantee. This situation is the worst-case scenario.
The majority of my sink repairs will only take about 1-2 hours. This is much faster than the hassle of removing and replacing your sink. 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. 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. These old antique sinks usually have beautiful detailing and features that you just don’t get on modern sinks. If you need a sink restored or repaired, I’m here to help.
I perform all my repairs to a very high standard, focusing on durability and making sure the repair isn’t noticeable during normal usage. You might be able to spot something with a torch, but that’s not something you’d typically do when using your sink normally. A company that promises an invisible repair is likely not reputable, and they probably won’t be around for long.
By repairing your sink rather than replacing it, you'll save time, money, and reduce your environmental impact. Repairing your sink means you won’t be adding unnecessary waste to the landfill.
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. 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.
How durable is a sink repair?
All of my sink repairs come with a 12-month guarantee. Your sink repair should last just as long as the sink itself, and any failure would occur 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. I often recommend replacing the sink when this happens, but if you wish to keep your original sink, we can still repair it.
