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. The use of strong cleaners and soaps can damage your sink’s finish, causing dirt to adhere and wear down its surface. I’ve been repairing sinks for years and can provide full resurfacing for your sink when necessary. I perform all repairs at your location, and most sink repairs are completed within 1-2 hours. Your sink will be ready to use within 24 hours after repair, saving you time and avoiding replacement costs. Repairing and resurfacing your sink is the most economical way to restore it to like-new condition 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 looking brand new again 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. I carefully blend tinters into the white enamel paint by eye to achieve the exact shade of your sink. If the paint doesn’t match your sink exactly, you’ll be able to see the repair. This is a very specialised skill that I have perfected after many years of application. Even though white is the most common sink colour, the shade of white can vary widely. The shade of white your sink has depends on the manufacturer, its age, usage, and factors like sun damage or chemical discoloration. I have to be very careful to get an accurate colour match whenever I do repairs. If you choose to have your whole sink resurfaced, I will spray it with a new brilliant white so it looks brand new again.
The materials I use are high-quality and not available in your typical DIY store. I’ve sourced the best quality bonder and enamel paint to ensure all my repairs last. Since I’ve been using the same materials for years, I can trust that they create lasting, high-quality repairs every time. Some other companies cut corners by using cheaper materials, but this could lead to repairs failing and poor results. I always provide a 12-month guarantee with my repairs, unless specifically stated otherwise.
The repair process starts with applying a special bonder to the damaged area and filling it in. I colour match the paint to your sink, then apply a second layer of bonder before spraying the enamel. The use of a fine spray gun helps the new surface blend into the existing sink, creating a seamless repair.
Whenever I find damage on a sink, I evaluate the extent of it to figure out the most effective repair method. For minor chips or scratches, I can complete a quick chip repair in just 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. 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.
Typically, my sink repairs take only 1-2 hours to complete. This is much faster than removing your sink and replacing it. 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 have done a lot of work restoring antique sinks to look brand new again by resurfacing them. Antique sinks typically feature intricate detailing that is not found on most modern sinks. If you have a sink that needs attention, I’m here to provide help.
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. 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 means you won’t be adding unnecessary waste to the landfill.
I’ve had some customers ask me about DIY Repair Kits and if they could just do their repairs themselves. DIY Repair Kits use low-quality materials, so the repair is unlikely to last long. It’s hard to achieve a true colour match with the basic tinter that’s supplied in these kits. 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.
What’s the expected lifespan of a sink repair?
My sink repairs are all guaranteed for 12 months. 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. Typically, I recommend replacing the sink in such cases, but if you’d like to keep the original sink, we can still repair it.
