Sink repairs are frequently needed because of the constant use they face. Accidental drops of glass bottles, pots, pans, etc, can all cause chips and cracks to the surface of your sink. Harsh cleaners and soaps can erode the shiny surface of your sink, making it harder to clean and causing dirt to stick. 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. All of my work is done in-situ, and a normal sink repair will only take about 1-2 hours! Your sink will be ready to use within 24 hours after repair, saving you time and avoiding replacement costs. This is the most cost-effective way to make your sink look brand new without the need for replacement. I guarantee all my sink repairs for 12 months, and I’m fully insured for your peace of mind. 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. When the new paint isn’t a perfect match, the repair will be visible. This highly specialised skill has been developed over years of hands-on work. 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. I have to be very careful to get an accurate colour match whenever I do repairs. Should you decide to resurface your sink, I will apply a fresh, brilliant white coating to restore it to like-new condition.
The materials I use are high-quality and not available in your typical DIY store. The bonder and enamel paint I use are the best quality, ensuring that all repairs are durable and long-lasting. I’ve relied on these materials for years, and they consistently create durable, top-quality repairs. Unlike other companies that use cheaper materials, I only use top-quality products to ensure repairs won’t fail. 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. Next, I colour match the new paint to your sink and apply another layer of bonder before spraying on the enamel. Applying the new enamel with a fine spray gun guarantees that the repair blends in as smoothly as possible.
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. 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. However, this is a worst-case situation.
The majority of my sink repairs will only take about 1-2 hours. It’s far quicker than the process of removing and replacing your sink. Resurfacing your sink will take a full day, as I spend time masking the room to protect from any overspray. Once again, resurfacing is far quicker and more cost-effective than removing and replacing your sink. I’ve successfully restored many antique sinks, resurfacing them to look like new. These old antique sinks usually have beautiful detailing and features that you just don’t get on modern sinks. If your sink is in need of repair, I can help restore it.
I perform all my repairs to a very high standard, focusing on durability and making sure the repair isn’t noticeable during normal usage. If you shine a torch over the repair, you might spot something, but this is rarely done in regular use. 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.
By repairing your sink rather than replacing it, you'll save time, money, and reduce your environmental impact. 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. 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. 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?
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 there’s structural or extensive damage, I can’t offer a guarantee, but I will inform you of this before proceeding with the repair. Typically, I recommend replacing the sink in such cases, but if you’d like to keep the original sink, we can still repair it.
