Due to regular use, sinks often require repairs, especially after damage. Sinks often get chips and cracks from dropped items like glass bottles, pots, or pans. 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. All of my work is done in-situ, and a normal sink repair will only take about 1-2 hours! In just 24 hours, you can use your sink again, avoiding the hassle and cost of replacement. This is the most economical option for making your sink look new again without the expense of replacement. My repairs come with a 12-month warranty, and I’m fully insured. 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. The repair will be obvious if the new paint doesn’t match your sink perfectly. This is a very specialised skill that I have perfected after many years of application. While sinks are generally white, the exact shade of white can differ greatly. Different brands use different shades of white, and factors like age, usage, and exposure to chemicals or sunlight can all change the shade. I pay close attention to get the perfect colour match whenever I perform 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.
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. Some companies use cheaper materials to save money, but this can result in repairs that don’t last and poor outcomes. All repairs come with a 12-month guarantee, unless otherwise stated.
When repairing a sink, the first thing I do is apply a special bonder to the damaged area before filling it in. I then colour match the new paint to your sink and apply another layer of bonder before spraying on the new 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. In cases of minor chips or scratches, I can perform a quick chip repair that usually takes around 1-2 hours. For larger damage that covers a bigger area, resurfacing the entire sink is usually the best option. 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. This situation is the worst-case scenario.
Most of my sink repairs can be completed in just 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 have done a lot of work restoring antique sinks to look brand new again by resurfacing them. 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 shine a torch over the surface, you might notice something, but this isn't something you'd typically do while using your sink. Any reputable repair company will not guarantee an invisible repair, so be cautious of those who do as they likely won’t last long.
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. If you want to try it yourself, that’s fine, but I’ll be here for a professional repair when you ask.
How long can I expect my sink repair to last?
Each of my sink repairs is backed by a 12-month guarantee. A proper sink repair should last as long as the rest of the sink, and if one of our repairs fails, it will most likely happen within the first 12 months. The only time I can't offer a guarantee on a repair is if there is structural damage or extensive damage, and in this case, I'll make sure you know that I can't offer a guarantee before you go ahead with the repair. In these cases, I usually recommend replacing the sink, but if you prefer to keep your original sink, we can still help with the repair.
