Due to regular use, sinks often require repairs, especially after damage. 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. I have been repairing sinks for many years and can also do full sink restorations by resurfacing the whole surface of your sink when needed. I do all my repairs on-site, and a typical sink repair only takes 1-2 hours. In just 24 hours, you can use your sink again, avoiding the hassle and cost of replacement. Repairing and resurfacing is the most affordable way to restore your sink’s appearance without replacing it. All sink repairs come with a 12-month guarantee, and I’m fully insured. Your sink will be restored to its original condition 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 paint doesn’t match your sink exactly, you’ll be able to see the repair. Through years of experience, I’ve mastered this specialised skill in sink repairs. Most sinks are white, but there is actually a significant variation in their exact shade of white. Different brands use different shades of white, and factors like age, usage, and exposure to chemicals or sunlight can all change the shade. Getting the exact colour match is crucial, so I’m very careful when doing repairs. If you opt for a full sink resurfacing, I’ll spray it with a brilliant white finish to make it look as good as new.
All my repairs are done with professional-grade materials that are not available at standard DIY stores. I’ve sourced the best quality bonder and enamel paint to ensure all my repairs last. I’ve trusted these materials for years, and they always produce long-lasting, high-quality results. By using low-cost materials, some companies risk failed repairs and poor results. I always provide a 12-month guarantee with my repairs, unless specifically stated 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.
The first step in any sink repair is assessing the damage to figure out the best solution. 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. If the damage is extensive and affects a large portion of the sink, resurfacing the whole sink would be the most effective solution. For a large crack or hole, I can repair it, but I might suggest replacing the sink due to potential structural issues. In this case, if I do the repair, I wouldn’t be able to offer a guarantee on it. But rest assured, this is an unlikely worst-case scenario.
The average sink repair takes only 1-2 hours. Replacing your sink would take much longer than this repair. 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. My work includes resurfacing antique sinks to restore their beauty and make them look like new. Antique sinks typically feature intricate detailing that is not found on most modern sinks. If you have a sink that needs saving, I can help you.
Every repair I do is completed to a high standard, ensuring it lasts and blends in with regular use. 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. Any reputable repair company will not guarantee an invisible repair, so be cautious of those who do as they likely won’t last long.
Repairing your sink rather than replacing it will save you time, money, and is better for the environment. 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. It’s hard to achieve a true colour match with the basic tinter that’s supplied in these kits. 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.
How long can I expect my sink repair to 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. I can’t offer a guarantee if there’s structural or extensive damage, and I’ll let you know before starting 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.
