Due to regular use, sinks often require repairs, especially after damage. Things like dropping glass bottles, pots, and pans can easily chip or crack your sink. Using abrasive cleaners or soaps can dull your sink’s surface, making it more prone to dirt build-up. I specialize in repairing sinks and can resurface the entire sink for a complete restoration. All of my work is done in-situ, and a normal sink repair will only take about 1-2 hours! You’ll be able to use your sink again 24 hours later, saving you time and money on having it replaced. Repairing and resurfacing your sink is the most economical way to restore it to like-new condition without replacing it. I guarantee all my sink repairs for 12 months, and I’m fully insured for your peace of mind. Your sink will be restored to its original condition 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. A mismatch in the paint will make the repair noticeable. I’ve refined this specialised skill over many years of experience. Although sinks are often white, the specific shade of white can vary considerably. Different manufacturers use different shades, and factors like the age of the sink, how much usage it’s had, and if it has been discoloured by chemicals or sunlight can all affect the final colour. Ensuring an accurate colour match is essential, and I take great care when performing sink repairs. 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. I use only the highest quality bonder and enamel paint to ensure all repairs stand the test of time. Since I’ve been using the same materials for years, I can trust that they create lasting, high-quality repairs every time. Other companies may try to cut costs with cheaper materials, but that can lead to failed repairs and subpar 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. I colour match the paint to your sink, then apply a second layer of bonder before spraying the enamel. To ensure a flawless finish, I use a fine spray gun when applying the new surface, so the repair blends in perfectly.
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. 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. If I repair it in this situation, I can’t offer a guarantee. But rest assured, this is an unlikely worst-case scenario.
Typically, my sink repairs take only 1-2 hours to complete. This is a lot quicker than having to remove and replace your sink. If you want to have your sink resurfaced, then this will take me a day to do, as I need to spend a lot of time masking off the rest of the room to protect it from 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. 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.
I perform all my repairs to a very high standard, focusing on durability and making sure the repair isn’t noticeable during normal usage. You might be able to spot something with a torch, but that’s not something you’d typically do when using your sink normally. Be cautious of any repair companies that promise an invisible repair, as no reputable business would make such a guarantee.
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 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. It is also very hard to get a true colour match with the basic tinter they supply. 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?
All of my sink repairs come with a 12-month guarantee. Sink repairs should last for as long as the rest of the sink itself, and in the unlikely event that one of our repairs fails, it will do so 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 happens, I usually recommend replacing the sink, but if you want to keep your original sink, we can still help you repair it.
