It’s common for sinks to need repairs due to the daily wear and tear they experience. 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. I’ve been repairing sinks for years and can provide full resurfacing for your sink when necessary. I handle all repairs in your home, and a regular sink repair will take just 1-2 hours. In just 24 hours, you can use your sink again, avoiding the hassle and cost of replacement. This is the most cost-effective way to make your sink look brand new without the need for replacement. All sink repairs come with a 12-month guarantee, and I’m fully insured. It won’t take long before your sink looks brand new again!
One of the most important parts of a great sink repair is to accurately colour match the new enamel paint to your existing sink. I carefully blend tinters into the white enamel paint by eye to achieve the exact shade of 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. Although sinks are often white, the specific shade of white can vary considerably. Your sink’s exact shade of white depends on the manufacturer and factors like age, usage, and chemical or sunlight exposure. It’s important to get an accurate colour match, and I’m very meticulous in doing so. 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. 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.
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. Using a fine spray gun to apply the new surface ensures the repair will blend in as seamlessly 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. 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 the sink has a large crack or hole, I can repair it, but it might be better to replace the sink if it's leading to structural concerns. In this case, any repair I do will not come with a guarantee. This situation is the worst-case scenario.
Most sink repairs I perform take around 1-2 hours. This is a lot quicker than having to remove and replace your sink. Resurfacing your sink will take a full day, as I spend time masking the room to protect from any overspray. Even so, this is still much faster and more affordable than replacing your sink. Restoring antique sinks by resurfacing them is something I do regularly, bringing them back to their original beauty. Antique sinks typically feature intricate detailing that is not found on most modern sinks. I’m here to assist if your sink needs saving.
I perform all my repairs to a very high standard, focusing on durability and making sure the repair isn’t noticeable during 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. Reputable repair companies don’t promise invisible repairs, so be wary of companies that do as they likely won’t be in business for long.
Having your sink repaired instead of replacing it will save you money, time, and is environmentally friendly. Repairing your sink helps cut down on waste and prevents more trash from going to the landfill.
Some people wonder if they can use DIY Repair Kits to fix their sinks on their own. The issue with DIY Repair Kits is that they include low-quality materials, which means the repair won’t last. Getting a proper colour match is difficult with the basic tinter that comes with these kits. If you’re confident, you can certainly give it a try, but I’ll be here to do a professional repair whenever you need one.
What’s the expected lifespan of a sink repair?
My sink repairs are all guaranteed for 12 months. Repairs should last as long as the sink itself, and in the unlikely case that one fails, it will occur within the first 12 months. If the sink has structural or significant damage, I can’t guarantee the repair, but I’ll inform you before we proceed. I often recommend replacing the sink when this happens, but if you wish to keep your original sink, we can still repair it.
