Sink repairs are very common due to the hard usage that sinks have to endure. Accidents like dropping glass bottles, pots, and pans can lead to chips and cracks on 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 have been repairing sinks for many years and can also do full sink restorations by resurfacing the whole surface of your sink when needed. All repairs are completed on-site, and a standard sink repair takes 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. My sink repairs are guaranteed for 12 months and I’m fully insured. Your sink will be as good as new in no time!
A key element of a top-quality sink repair is ensuring the new enamel paint matches your existing sink perfectly. On the day of the repair, I mix different tinters into the standard white enamel paint by eye until it matches your sink’s shade exactly. A mismatch in the paint will make the repair noticeable. Through years of experience, I’ve mastered this specialised skill in sink repairs. Although sinks are often white, the specific shade of white can vary considerably. The shade of white your sink has depends on the manufacturer, its age, usage, and factors like sun damage or chemical discoloration. I pay close attention to get the perfect colour match whenever I perform repairs. If you decide to resurface your entire sink, I will apply a brilliant white finish to restore its original look.
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. Unlike other companies that use cheaper materials, I only use top-quality products to ensure repairs won’t fail. Every repair I do comes with a 12-month guarantee, unless stated otherwise.
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. Using a fine spray gun to apply the new surface ensures the repair will blend in as seamlessly 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 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. Should I choose to repair it, I won’t be able to offer a guarantee on the work. But this 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 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. I have experience restoring antique sinks and resurfacing them to make them look brand new. 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. If you shine a torch over the repair, you might spot something, but this is rarely done in regular use. Any reputable repair company will not guarantee an invisible repair, so be cautious of those who do as they likely won’t last long.
Having your sink repaired instead of replacing it will save you money, time, and is environmentally friendly. By choosing to repair your sink, you’re helping reduce waste at your local landfill site.
Some people wonder if they can use DIY Repair Kits to fix their sinks on their own. DIY Repair Kits use low-quality materials, so the repair is unlikely to last long. Another problem is that the basic tinter included makes it difficult to achieve a true colour match. Feel free to try it yourself if you feel up to it, but I’ll be here for a professional repair when you’re ready.
How long can I expect my sink repair to last?
My sink repairs are all guaranteed for 12 months. Your sink repair should last just as long as the sink itself, and any failure would occur 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. When this occurs, I usually suggest replacing the sink, but if you want to preserve your original sink, I can still help with the repair.
