Sinks often require repairs due to the heavy usage they undergo. Things like dropping glass bottles, pots, and pans can easily chip or crack your sink. Harsh cleaning products gradually dull the surface of your sink, making it harder to maintain and clean. With extensive experience in sink repairs, I can also resurface your sink for full restoration when required. 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 looking brand new again 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. If the paint doesn’t match your sink exactly, you’ll be able to see the repair. I’ve refined this specialised skill over many years of experience. Even though white is the most common sink colour, the shade of white can vary widely. 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. 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 only use top-quality materials that you won't find in your local DIY store. To guarantee long-lasting repairs, I’ve sourced the best quality 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 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.
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.
The first step in any sink repair is assessing the damage to figure out the best solution. When dealing with a few chips or scratches, I can fix them quickly with a chip repair that takes about 1-2 hours. For larger damage that covers a bigger area, resurfacing the entire sink is usually the best option. 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 sink repairs I perform take around 1-2 hours. This is much faster than removing your sink and replacing it. 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’ve successfully restored many antique sinks, resurfacing them to look like new. 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 perform all my repairs to a very high standard, focusing on durability and making sure the repair isn’t noticeable during normal usage. 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. No reputable repair company will promise you an invisible repair, so be wary of any companies that do, because they probably won’t be in business for long.
Opting to repair your sink instead of replacing it saves time, money, and helps the environment. 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 problem is the DIY Repair Kits only come with poor quality materials, so the repair won’t last. The basic tinter in DIY kits makes it challenging to get an accurate colour match. 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 durable is a sink repair?
Every sink repair I do is covered by a 12-month guarantee. 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. 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 happens, I usually recommend replacing the sink, but if you want to keep your original sink, we can still help you repair it.
