Due to regular use, sinks often require repairs, especially after damage. Accidental drops of glass bottles, pots, pans, etc, can all cause chips and cracks to the surface of your sink. Harsh cleaning products gradually dull the surface of your sink, making it harder to maintain and clean. I’ve been repairing sinks for years and can provide full resurfacing for your sink when necessary. I do all my repairs on-site, and a typical sink repair only takes 1-2 hours. Your sink will be ready to use again in just 24 hours, saving both time and money compared to a full replacement. Repairing and resurfacing is the most affordable way to restore your sink’s appearance without replacing it. My repairs come with a 12-month warranty, and I’m fully insured. Your sink will be restored to its original condition in no time!
A crucial part of a successful sink repair is matching the new enamel paint to the exact colour of 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. I’ve perfected this skill after years of repairing sinks and colour matching. 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. If you decide to resurface your entire sink, I will apply a brilliant white finish to restore its original look.
I only use top-quality materials that you won't find in your local DIY store. The bonder and enamel paint I use are the best quality, ensuring that all repairs are durable and long-lasting. I’ve relied on these materials for years, and they consistently create durable, top-quality repairs. By using low-cost materials, some companies risk failed repairs 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. I then colour match the new paint to your sink and apply another layer of bonder before spraying on the new enamel. The use of a fine spray gun helps the new surface blend into the existing sink, creating a seamless repair.
When I come across sink damage, I first assess how severe it is so I can decide on the best repair method. In cases of minor chips or scratches, I can perform a quick chip repair that usually takes around 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. For a large crack or hole, I can repair it, but I might suggest replacing the sink due to potential structural issues. In this case, if I do the repair, I wouldn’t be able to offer a guarantee on it. However, this is a worst-case situation.
Most of my sink repairs can be completed in just 1-2 hours. This is much faster than removing your sink and replacing it. Should you choose to resurface your sink, it will take about a day, as I must carefully mask off the surrounding room to prevent 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. Old antique sinks have beautiful details and features that are hard to find in modern models. 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. If you shine a torch over the repair, you might spot something, but this is rarely done in regular use. 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.
Repairing your sink rather than replacing it will save you time, money, and is better for the environment. Repairing your sink means you won’t be adding unnecessary waste to the landfill.
Some customers have asked about DIY Repair Kits and whether they can handle their repairs themselves. DIY Repair Kits use low-quality materials, so the repair is unlikely to last long. The basic tinter in DIY kits makes it challenging to get an accurate colour match. 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.
How durable is a sink repair?
I guarantee all my sink repairs 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. I can’t offer a guarantee if there’s structural or extensive damage, and I’ll let you know before starting the repair. 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.
