Sink repairs are frequently needed because of the constant use they face. Glass bottles, pots, and pans are common culprits of chips and cracks on sink surfaces. Harsh cleaners and soaps can erode the shiny surface of your sink, making it harder to clean and causing dirt to stick. With extensive experience in sink repairs, I can also resurface your sink for full restoration when required. I perform all repairs at your location, and most sink repairs are completed within 1-2 hours. You’ll be able to use your sink again 24 hours later, saving you time and money on having it replaced. This is the most cost-effective way to make your sink look brand new without the need for replacement. I offer a 12-month guarantee on all my sink repairs, and I’m fully insured. Your sink will be looking brand new again 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. 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. I’ve refined this specialised skill over many years of experience. 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. Getting the exact colour match is crucial, so I’m very careful when doing repairs. Should you decide to resurface your sink, I will apply a fresh, brilliant white coating to restore it to like-new condition.
I always use professional-grade materials that aren't available at your local DIY store. I’ve sourced the best quality bonder and enamel paint to ensure all my repairs last. I’ve relied on these materials for years, and they consistently create durable, top-quality repairs. Some other companies cut corners by using cheaper materials, but this could lead to repairs failing and poor results. All repairs come with a 12-month guarantee, unless otherwise stated.
When repairing a sink, the first thing I do is apply a special bonder to the damaged area before filling it in. Once I’ve matched the paint, I apply a second layer of bonder and then spray on the enamel. I use a fine spray gun to apply the new surface, which ensures the repair blends seamlessly.
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. For larger damage that covers a bigger area, resurfacing the entire sink is usually the best option. 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. Should I choose to repair it, I won’t be able to offer a guarantee on the work. However, this is a worst-case situation.
The average sink repair takes only 1-2 hours. This is much faster than the hassle of removing and replacing your sink. Resurfacing a sink takes a day because I need to carefully mask off the room to avoid overspray. Even so, this is still much faster and more affordable than 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 attention, I’m here to provide help.
My repairs are always done to the highest standard, ensuring longevity and that they remain inconspicuous with regular use. If you were to get out a torch and shine it over the surface, you may be able to see something, but this is not very common 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.
Repairing your sink rather than replacing it will save you time, money, and is better for the environment. You won’t be adding more waste to your local landfill site when you choose to repair and restore your sink.
I’ve had some customers ask me about DIY Repair Kits and if they could just do their repairs themselves. DIY Repair Kits often include poor-quality materials that won’t provide a lasting repair. It is also very hard to get a true colour match with the basic tinter they supply. 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?
Every sink repair I do is covered by 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. 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.
