Sink repairs are frequently needed because of the constant use they face. Sinks often get chips and cracks from dropped items like glass bottles, pots, or pans. Using abrasive cleaners or soaps can dull your sink’s surface, making it more prone to dirt build-up. I’ve been repairing sinks for years and can provide full resurfacing for your sink when necessary. All repairs are completed on-site, and a standard sink repair takes just 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 repairs come with a 12-month warranty, and I’m fully insured. It won’t take long before your sink looks brand new again!
For a flawless sink repair, it’s essential to match the new enamel paint to the existing sink colour. The colour matching is done by eye, mixing various tinters into the standard white enamel paint until it perfectly matches your sink. 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. While sinks are generally white, the exact shade of white can differ greatly. The shade of white your sink has depends on the manufacturer, its age, usage, and factors like sun damage or chemical discoloration. Getting the exact colour match is crucial, so I’m very careful when doing repairs. If you decide to resurface your entire sink, I will apply a brilliant white finish to restore its original look.
I only use top-quality materials that you won't find in your local DIY store. 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. Some companies use cheaper materials to save money, but this can result in repairs that don’t last and poor outcomes. 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. I colour match the paint to your sink, then apply a second layer of bonder before spraying the enamel. To ensure a flawless finish, I use a fine spray gun when applying the new surface, so the repair blends in perfectly.
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. In cases of minor chips or scratches, I can perform a quick chip repair that usually takes around 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. However, this is a worst-case situation.
The average sink repair takes only 1-2 hours. It’s far quicker than the process 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. Again, this is still so much faster and cheaper than ripping out and replacing your sink. I have experience restoring antique sinks and resurfacing them to make them look brand new. The detailing and features on antique sinks are often more beautiful than what you find on modern sinks. I’m here to assist if your sink needs saving.
I ensure all my repairs are completed to the highest standard, focusing on durability and making sure they aren’t visible with normal use. If you shine a torch over the repair, you might spot something, but this is rarely done in regular use. 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 helps cut down on waste and prevents more trash from going to the landfill.
I’ve had some customers ask me about DIY Repair Kits and if they could just do their repairs themselves. The issue with DIY Repair Kits is that they include low-quality materials, which means the repair won’t last. Another problem is that the basic tinter included makes it difficult to achieve a true colour match. If you’re confident, you can certainly give it a try, but I’ll be here to do a professional repair whenever you need one.
What’s the expected lifespan of a sink repair?
All of my sink repairs come with a 12-month guarantee. Sink repairs should last for as long as the rest of the sink itself, and in the unlikely event that one of our repairs fails, it will do so 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. Typically, I recommend replacing the sink in such cases, but if you’d like to keep the original sink, we can still repair it.
