Sinks often require repairs due to the heavy usage they undergo. Accidents like dropping glass bottles, pots, and pans can lead to chips and cracks on your sink. The use of strong cleaners and soaps can damage your sink’s finish, causing dirt to adhere and wear down its surface. With years of experience repairing sinks, I also offer full sink restorations through resurfacing. I do all my repairs on-site, and a typical sink repair only takes 1-2 hours. Once the repair is completed, your sink will be ready to use again in 24 hours, saving you time and money. It’s the most economical way to get a brand-new looking sink again without having to actually replace it. 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!
For a flawless sink repair, it’s essential to match the new enamel paint to the existing sink colour. 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. 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. Most sinks are white, but there is actually a significant variation in their exact shade of white. The shade of white your sink has depends on the manufacturer, its age, usage, and factors like sun damage or chemical discoloration. 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.
The materials I use are high-quality and not available in your typical DIY store. To guarantee long-lasting repairs, I’ve sourced the best quality bonder and enamel paint. I’ve trusted these materials for years, and they always produce long-lasting, high-quality results. By using low-cost materials, some companies risk failed repairs and poor results. Every repair I do comes with a 12-month guarantee, unless stated otherwise.
I begin a sink repair by applying a special bonder to the affected area and filling in the damage. After colour matching the new paint to your sink, I apply an additional layer of bonder before spraying on the new enamel. To ensure a flawless finish, I use a fine spray gun when applying the new surface, so the repair blends in perfectly.
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. For minor chips or scratches, I can complete a quick chip repair in just 1-2 hours. When the damage is widespread, resurfacing the sink is typically the best choice. 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. In this case, if I do the repair, I wouldn’t be able to offer a guarantee on it. But rest assured, this is an unlikely worst-case scenario.
Most of my sink repairs can be completed in just 1-2 hours. This is much faster than removing your sink and replacing it. If you opt for a sink resurfacing, this will take me a full day to complete, due to the need to mask off the area for protection. Again, this is still so much faster and cheaper than ripping out and replacing your sink. I have experience restoring antique sinks and resurfacing them to make them look brand new. Antique sinks typically feature intricate detailing that is not found on most modern sinks. If you have a sink that needs attention, I’m here to provide help.
Every repair I do is completed to a high standard, ensuring it lasts and blends in with regular use. If you shine a torch over the repair, you might spot something, but this is rarely done in regular use. 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. When you repair and restore your sink, you’ll avoid contributing more waste to your local landfill.
I’ve been asked by customers if DIY Repair Kits are a good option for repairing their sinks. DIY Repair Kits often include poor-quality materials that won’t provide a lasting repair. Another problem is that the basic tinter included makes it difficult to achieve a true 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 long will a sink repair last?
Every sink repair I do is covered by a 12-month guarantee. Repairs are designed to last as long as the sink itself, and if a failure occurs, it will happen within the first 12 months. I can’t offer a guarantee if there’s structural or extensive damage, and I’ll let you know before starting 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.
