It’s common for sinks to need repairs due to the daily wear and tear they experience. Accidents like dropping glass bottles, pots, and pans can lead to chips and cracks on your sink. Using abrasive cleaners or soaps can dull your sink’s surface, making it more prone to dirt build-up. With extensive experience in sink repairs, I can also resurface your sink for full restoration when required. All of my work is done in-situ, and a normal sink repair will only take about 1-2 hours! You’ll be able to use your sink again 24 hours later, saving you time and money on having it replaced. Repairing and resurfacing your sink is the most economical way to restore it to like-new condition without replacing it. My sink repairs are guaranteed for 12 months and I’m fully insured. Your sink will look brand new in no time!
A key element of a top-quality sink repair is ensuring the new enamel paint matches your existing sink perfectly. 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. If the paint doesn’t match your sink exactly, you’ll be able to see the repair. 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. Ensuring an accurate colour match is essential, and I take great care when performing sink repairs. Should you decide to resurface your sink, I will apply a fresh, brilliant white coating to restore it to like-new condition.
I only use top-quality materials that you won't find in your local DIY store. I use only the highest quality bonder and enamel paint to ensure all repairs stand the test of time. I’ve trusted these materials for years, and they always produce long-lasting, high-quality results. Some other companies cut corners by using cheaper materials, but this could lead to repairs failing and poor results. 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. Next, I colour match the new paint to your sink and apply another layer of bonder before spraying on the enamel. The use of a fine spray gun helps the new surface blend into the existing sink, creating a seamless repair.
When I come across sink damage, I first assess how severe it is so I can decide on the best repair method. 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. In the case of a large crack or hole, I can still perform a repair, but I may advise replacing the sink due to possible structural damage. Should I choose to repair it, I won’t be able to offer a guarantee on the work. This is the worst-case scenario, though it’s rare.
The majority of my sink repairs will only take about 1-2 hours. 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. This is still a much quicker and more affordable option than completely replacing your sink. I have done a lot of work restoring antique sinks to look brand new again by resurfacing them. Antique sinks often have intricate detailing and unique features that modern sinks lack. I’m here to assist if your sink needs saving.
Every repair I do is completed to a high standard, ensuring it lasts and blends in with regular 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. 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.
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.
Some people wonder if they can use DIY Repair Kits to fix their sinks on their own. The problem is the DIY Repair Kits only come with poor quality materials, so the repair won’t last. Getting a proper colour match is difficult with the basic tinter that comes with these kits. If you want to try it yourself, that’s fine, but I’ll be here for a professional repair when you ask.
How long will a sink repair last?
Each of my sink repairs is backed by 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. In cases of structural or extensive damage, I can’t provide a guarantee, but I’ll make sure to let you know before proceeding. 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.
