It’s common for sinks to need repairs due to the daily wear and tear they experience. Glass bottles, pots, and pans are common culprits of chips and cracks on sink surfaces. Harsh cleaners and soaps can erode the shiny surface of your sink, making it harder to clean and causing dirt to stick. I specialize in repairing sinks and can resurface the entire sink for a complete restoration. I handle all repairs in your home, and a regular sink repair will take just 1-2 hours. You’ll be able to use your sink again 24 hours later, saving you time and money on having it replaced. It’s the most economical way to get a brand-new looking sink again without having to actually replace it. I offer a 12-month guarantee on all my sink repairs, 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. This process requires mixing tinters into white enamel paint by eye until an exact match to your sink’s colour is achieved. A mismatch in the paint will make the repair noticeable. I’ve perfected this skill after years of repairing sinks and colour matching. Most sinks are white, but there is actually a significant variation in their exact shade of white. Manufacturers use varying shades of white, and the sink’s age, usage, and exposure to chemicals or sunlight will affect its shade. It’s important to get an accurate colour match, and I’m very meticulous in doing so. If you choose to have your whole sink resurfaced, I will spray it with a new brilliant white so it looks brand new again.
I always use professional-grade materials that aren't available at your local DIY store. For lasting repairs, I always use premium bonder and enamel paint. I’ve trusted these materials for years, and they always produce long-lasting, high-quality results. Some other companies cut corners by using cheaper materials, but this could lead to repairs failing 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. 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.
The first step in any sink repair is assessing the damage to figure out the best solution. If there are just a few chips or scratches, then I can do a simple chip repair that only takes about 1-2 hours. If the damage is greater and covers a larger area of the sink, it would be best to resurface the whole sink. 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 repair it in this situation, I can’t offer a guarantee. But rest assured, this is an unlikely worst-case scenario.
The average sink repair takes only 1-2 hours. This is much faster than removing your sink and replacing it. If you want to have your sink resurfaced, then this will take me a day to do, as I need to spend a lot of time masking off the rest of the room to protect it from overspray. This process is still much quicker and cheaper compared to ripping out 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 your sink is in need of repair, I can help restore it.
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 shine a torch over the repair, you might spot something, but this is rarely done in regular use. Be cautious of any repair companies that promise an invisible repair, as no reputable business would make such a guarantee.
By repairing your sink rather than replacing it, you'll save time, money, and reduce your environmental impact. You won’t be adding more waste to your local landfill site when you choose to repair and restore your sink.
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’s hard to achieve a true colour match with the basic tinter that’s supplied in these kits. 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?
Every sink repair I do is covered 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. I often recommend replacing the sink when this happens, but if you wish to keep your original sink, we can still repair it.
