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. 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 handle all repairs in your home, and a regular sink repair will take just 1-2 hours. Your sink will be ready to use again in just 24 hours, saving both time and money compared to a full replacement. It’s the most economical way to get a brand-new looking sink again without having to actually replace it. I offer a 12-month guarantee on all my sink repairs, 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 new paint doesn't match your sink perfectly, you will notice the repair. 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. The shade of white your sink has depends on the manufacturer, its age, usage, and factors like sun damage or chemical discoloration. I have to be very careful to get an accurate colour match whenever I do repairs. Should you decide to resurface your sink, I will apply a fresh, brilliant white coating to restore it to like-new condition.
All my repairs are done with professional-grade materials that are not available at standard DIY stores. To guarantee long-lasting repairs, I’ve sourced the best quality bonder and enamel paint. I’ve trusted these materials for years, and they always produce long-lasting, high-quality results. Other companies may try to cut costs with cheaper materials, but that can lead to failed repairs and subpar results. All repairs come with a 12-month guarantee, unless otherwise stated.
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 then colour match the new paint to your sink and apply another layer of bonder before spraying on the new enamel. Using a fine spray gun to apply the new surface ensures the repair will blend in as seamlessly as possible.
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. In cases of more significant damage that spans a larger area, it’s best to resurface the entire sink. 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. However, this is a worst-case situation.
Typically, my sink repairs take only 1-2 hours to complete. This is much faster than removing your sink and replacing it. Resurfacing a sink takes a day because I need to carefully mask off the room to avoid overspray. This process is still much quicker and cheaper compared to 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.
I ensure all my repairs are completed to the highest standard, focusing on durability and making sure they aren’t visible with normal use. 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. Be cautious of any repair companies that promise an invisible repair, as no reputable business would make such a guarantee.
Choosing to repair your sink instead of replacing it will save both money and time, and it’s a more environmentally friendly option. When you repair and restore your sink, you’ll avoid contributing more waste to your local landfill.
I’ve been asked by customers if DIY Repair Kits are a good option for repairing their sinks. DIY Repair Kits often include poor-quality materials that won’t provide a lasting repair. The basic tinter in DIY kits makes it challenging to get an accurate colour match. Feel free to try it yourself if you feel up to it, but I’ll be here for a professional repair when you’re ready.
What’s the expected lifespan of a sink repair?
Every sink repair I do is covered by 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. The only time I can't offer a guarantee on a repair is if there is structural damage or extensive damage, and in this case, I'll make sure you know that I can't offer a guarantee before you go ahead 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.
