Sink repairs are frequently needed because of the constant use they face. 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. 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 perform all repairs at your location, and most sink repairs are completed within 1-2 hours. Your sink will be ready to use again in just 24 hours, saving both time and money compared to a full replacement. Repairing and resurfacing is the most affordable way to restore your sink’s appearance without replacing 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!
One of the most important parts of a great sink repair is to accurately colour match the new enamel paint to 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 new paint doesn't match your sink perfectly, you will notice the repair. I’ve refined this specialised skill over many years of experience. Most sinks are white, but there is actually a significant variation in their exact shade of white. Your sink’s exact shade of white depends on the manufacturer and factors like age, usage, and chemical or sunlight exposure. I have to be very careful to get an accurate colour match whenever I do 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.
I always use professional-grade materials that aren't available at your local DIY store. I use only the highest quality bonder and enamel paint to ensure all repairs stand the test of time. With years of experience using these materials, I know they provide consistent, durable, and high-quality repairs. 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.
When repairing a sink, the first thing I do is apply a special bonder to the damaged area before filling it in. 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.
Whenever I encounter damage on a sink, I have to make sure I know how bad the damage is so I can determine the best way to fix it. 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. In cases of more significant damage that spans a larger area, it’s best to resurface the entire sink. 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. This is the worst-case scenario, though it’s rare.
Most sink repairs I perform take around 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. This is still a much quicker and more affordable option than completely replacing your sink. I’ve successfully restored many antique sinks, resurfacing them to look like new. Old antique sinks have beautiful details and features that are hard to find in modern models. 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. You might be able to spot something with a torch, but that’s not something you’d typically do 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.
Opting to repair your sink instead of replacing it saves time, money, and helps the environment. Repairing your sink means you won’t be adding unnecessary waste to the landfill.
I’ve had customers ask if DIY Repair Kits would work for their sink repairs. The problem is the DIY Repair Kits only come with poor quality materials, so the repair won’t last. The basic tinter in DIY kits makes it challenging to get an accurate colour match. Feel free to try it yourself if you feel up to it, but I’ll be here for a professional repair when you’re ready.
How durable is a sink repair?
All of my sink repairs come with a 12-month guarantee. Repairs are designed to last as long as the sink itself, and if a failure occurs, it will happen within the first 12 months. If the sink has structural or significant damage, I can’t guarantee the repair, but I’ll inform you before we proceed. 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.
