Due to regular use, sinks often require repairs, especially after damage. Accidents like dropping glass bottles, pots, and pans can lead to chips and cracks on your sink. 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 do all my repairs on-site, and a typical sink repair only takes 1-2 hours. Once the repair is completed, your sink will be ready to use again in 24 hours, saving you time and money. Repairing and resurfacing is the most affordable way to restore your sink’s appearance without replacing it. My sink repairs are guaranteed for 12 months and I’m fully insured. Your sink will be looking brand new again 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. 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 highly specialised skill has been developed over years of hands-on work. Even though white is the most common sink colour, the shade of white can vary widely. Different brands use different shades of white, and factors like age, usage, and exposure to chemicals or sunlight can all change the shade. Ensuring an accurate colour match is essential, and I take great care when performing sink repairs. When resurfacing your sink, I’ll apply a brilliant white coat to give it a brand-new appearance.
I only use top-quality materials that you won't find in your local DIY store. For lasting repairs, I always use premium bonder and enamel paint. Since I’ve been using the same materials for years, I can trust that they create lasting, high-quality repairs every time. 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.
The initial step in my sink repair process is to apply a unique bonder to the damaged area and then fill the damage. After colour matching the new paint to your sink, I apply an additional layer of bonder before spraying on the new enamel. To ensure a flawless finish, I use a fine spray gun when applying the new surface, so the repair blends in perfectly.
When I come across sink damage, I first assess how severe it is so I can decide on the best repair method. For minor chips or scratches, I can complete a quick chip repair in just 1-2 hours. For larger damage that covers a bigger area, resurfacing the entire sink is usually the best option. If there’s a major crack or hole, I can still fix it, though I may recommend replacing the sink if it’s causing structural problems. If I proceed with the repair in this situation, I cannot provide a guarantee. This is the worst-case scenario, though it’s rare.
The majority of my sink repairs will only take about 1-2 hours. This is a lot quicker than having to remove and replace your sink. Should you choose to resurface your sink, it will take about a day, as I must carefully mask off the surrounding room to prevent overspray. Once again, resurfacing is far quicker and more cost-effective than removing and replacing your sink. I have experience restoring antique sinks and resurfacing them to make them look brand new. The detailing and features on antique sinks are often more beautiful than what you find on modern sinks. If you have a sink that needs saving, I can help you.
I ensure all my repairs are completed to the highest standard, focusing on durability and making sure they aren’t visible with normal 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. 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.
Choosing to repair your sink instead of replacing it will save both money and time, and it’s a more environmentally friendly option. By choosing to repair your sink, you’re helping reduce waste at your local landfill site.
Some people wonder if they can use DIY Repair Kits to fix their sinks on their own. DIY Repair Kits use low-quality materials, so the repair is unlikely to last long. Another problem is that the basic tinter included makes it difficult to achieve a true colour match. If you want to try it yourself, that’s fine, but I’ll be here for a professional repair when you ask.
How long will a sink repair last?
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. In cases of structural or extensive damage, I can’t provide a guarantee, but I’ll make sure to let you know before proceeding. I often recommend replacing the sink when this happens, but if you wish to keep your original sink, we can still repair it.
