Sinks often require repairs due to the heavy usage they undergo. Things like dropping glass bottles, pots, and pans can easily chip or crack 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! Once the repair is completed, your sink will be ready to use again in 24 hours, saving you time and money. This is the most economical option for making your sink look new again without the expense of replacement. All sink repairs come with a 12-month guarantee, and I’m fully insured. It won’t take long before your sink looks brand new again!
One of the most important parts of a great sink repair is to accurately colour match the new enamel paint to your existing sink. This process must be done by eye on the day of your repair, mixing various tinters into the standard white enamel paint until I get an exact match to your sink. If the new paint doesn't match your sink perfectly, you will notice the repair. This highly specialised skill has been developed over years of hands-on work. Even though white is the most common sink colour, the shade of white can vary widely. Manufacturers use varying shades of white, and the sink’s age, usage, and exposure to chemicals or sunlight will affect its shade. Ensuring an accurate colour match is essential, and I take great care when performing sink 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. 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. Unlike other companies that use cheaper materials, I only use top-quality products to ensure repairs won’t fail. All repairs come with a 12-month guarantee, unless otherwise stated.
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. I use a fine spray gun to apply the new surface, which ensures the repair blends seamlessly.
When I come across sink damage, I first assess how severe it is so I can decide on the best repair method. If there are just a few chips or scratches, then I can do a simple chip repair that only takes about 1-2 hours. If the damage is greater and covers a larger area of the sink, it would be best to resurface the whole sink. If there’s a large crack or hole in the sink, I can still repair it, but I may recommend replacing the sink instead, as it could be causing structural issues. 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.
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 a sink takes a day because I need to carefully mask off the room to avoid 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. If you have a sink that needs saving, I can help you.
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. Reputable repair companies don’t promise invisible repairs, so be wary of companies that do as they likely won’t be in business for long.
Having your sink repaired instead of replacing it will save you money, time, and is environmentally friendly. When you repair and restore your sink, you’ll avoid contributing more waste to your local landfill.
Some customers have asked about DIY Repair Kits and whether they can handle their repairs themselves. The issue with DIY Repair Kits is that they include low-quality materials, which means the repair won’t last. It’s hard to achieve a true colour match with the basic tinter that’s supplied in these kits. 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.
What’s the expected lifespan of a sink repair?
All of my sink repairs come with a 12-month guarantee. A proper sink repair should last as long as the rest of the sink, and if one of our repairs fails, it will most likely happen 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.
