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. Harsh cleaning products gradually dull the surface of your sink, making it harder to maintain and clean. With years of experience repairing sinks, I also offer full sink restorations through resurfacing. I do all my repairs on-site, and a typical sink repair only takes 1-2 hours. Your sink will be ready to use within 24 hours after repair, saving you time and avoiding replacement costs. It’s the most economical way to get a brand-new looking sink again without having to actually replace it. I guarantee all my sink repairs for 12 months, and I’m fully insured for your peace of mind. Your sink will be restored to its original condition in no time!
The most important part of a sink repair is accurately colour matching the new enamel paint to the shade of your 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. The repair will be obvious if the new paint doesn’t match your sink perfectly. This is a very specialised skill that I have perfected after many years of application. Even though most sinks are white, there is a huge variation in what shade of white your sink may be. Your sink’s exact shade of white depends on the manufacturer and factors like age, usage, and chemical or sunlight exposure. Ensuring an accurate colour match is essential, and I take great care when performing sink repairs. If you decide to resurface your entire sink, I will apply a brilliant white finish to restore its original look.
I only use top-quality materials that you won't find in your local DIY store. The bonder and enamel paint I use are the best quality, ensuring that all repairs are durable and long-lasting. 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. Every repair I do comes with a 12-month guarantee, unless stated otherwise.
When repairing a sink, the first thing I do is apply a special bonder to the damaged area before filling it in. I then colour match the new paint to your sink and apply another layer of bonder before spraying on the new enamel. Applying the new enamel with a fine spray gun guarantees that the repair blends in as smoothly as possible.
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. If I repair it in this situation, I can’t offer a guarantee. This situation is the worst-case scenario.
Most sink repairs I perform take around 1-2 hours. This is much faster than removing your sink and replacing it. If you opt for a sink resurfacing, this will take me a full day to complete, due to the need to mask off the area for protection. Again, this is still so much faster and cheaper than ripping out and replacing your sink. My work includes resurfacing antique sinks to restore their beauty and make them look like new. 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.
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 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. 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.
Repairing your sink rather than replacing it will save you time, money, and is better for the environment. When you repair and restore your sink, you’ll avoid contributing more waste to your local landfill.
I’ve had customers ask if DIY Repair Kits would work for their sink repairs. The problem with DIY Repair Kits is that the materials are of poor quality, leading to a repair that won't last. Another problem is that the basic tinter included makes it difficult to achieve a true colour match. You can absolutely give it a try if you feel confident, but I’ll be here to do a professional repair when you ask me.
How durable is a sink repair?
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. When this occurs, I usually suggest replacing the sink, but if you want to preserve your original sink, I can still help with the repair.
