Sink repairs are frequently needed because of the constant use they face. Things like dropping glass bottles, pots, and pans can easily chip or crack your sink. Things like using harsh cleaners and soaps will slowly erode the shiny surface of your sink, making dirt stick to it and compromising its top layer. 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. It’s the most economical way to get a brand-new looking sink again without having to actually replace it. My repairs come with a 12-month warranty, and I’m fully insured. Your sink will be as good as new 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. The colour matching is done by eye, mixing various tinters into the standard white enamel paint until it perfectly matches your sink. A mismatch in the paint will make the repair noticeable. This is a very specialised skill that I have perfected after many years of application. 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. Getting the exact colour match is crucial, so I’m very careful when doing 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. The bonder and enamel paint I use are the best quality, ensuring that all repairs are durable and long-lasting. With years of experience using these materials, I know they provide consistent, durable, and high-quality repairs. By using low-cost materials, some companies risk failed repairs and poor results. I offer a 12-month guarantee on all my repairs, unless otherwise noted.
I begin a sink repair by applying a special bonder to the affected area and filling in the damage. I colour match the paint to your sink, then apply a second layer of bonder before spraying the enamel. I use a fine spray gun to apply the new surface, which ensures the repair blends seamlessly.
When I come across sink damage, I first assess how severe it is so I can decide on the best repair method. In cases of minor chips or scratches, I can perform a quick chip repair that usually takes around 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. If I repair it in this situation, I can’t offer 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. Resurfacing a sink takes a day because I need to carefully mask off the room to avoid overspray. This process is still much quicker and cheaper compared to ripping out and replacing your sink. Restoring antique sinks by resurfacing them is something I do regularly, bringing them back to their original beauty. These old antique sinks usually have beautiful detailing and features that you just don’t get on modern sinks. If you have a sink that needs saving, I can help you.
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. While it’s possible to see something with a torch, it’s not common to use one when you’re using the sink as intended. Be cautious of any repair companies that promise an invisible repair, as no reputable business would make such a guarantee.
Choosing to repair your sink instead of replacing it will save both money and time, and it’s a more environmentally friendly option. 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. The issue with DIY Repair Kits is that they include low-quality materials, which means the repair won’t last. 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 long can I expect my sink repair to last?
I guarantee all my sink repairs for 12 months. 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. Typically, I recommend replacing the sink in such cases, but if you’d like to keep the original sink, we can still repair it.
