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. Harsh cleaners and soaps can erode the shiny surface of your sink, making it harder to clean and causing dirt to stick. With extensive experience in sink repairs, I can also resurface your sink for full restoration when required. All of my work is done in-situ, and a normal sink repair will only take about 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. I guarantee all my sink repairs for 12 months, and I’m fully insured for your peace of mind. It won’t take long before your sink looks brand new again!
A key element of a top-quality sink repair is ensuring the new enamel paint matches your existing sink perfectly. 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 new paint doesn't match your sink perfectly, you will notice the repair. This highly specialised skill has been developed over years of hands-on work. While sinks are generally white, the exact shade of white can differ greatly. Your sink’s exact shade of white depends on the manufacturer and factors like age, usage, and chemical or sunlight exposure. Ensuring an accurate colour match is essential, and I take great care when performing sink repairs. Should you decide to resurface your sink, I will apply a fresh, brilliant white coating to restore it to like-new condition.
I only use top-quality materials that you won't find in your local DIY store. I use only the highest quality bonder and enamel paint to ensure all repairs stand the test of time. 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. 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 then colour match the new paint to your sink and apply another layer of bonder before spraying on the new 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. If the damage is just a few chips or scratches, I can handle it with a simple chip repair that takes only 1-2 hours. When the damage is widespread, resurfacing the sink is typically the best choice. If there’s a large crack or hole in the sink, I can still repair it, but I may recommend replacing the sink instead, as it could be causing structural issues. In this case, any repair I do will not come with a guarantee. But rest assured, this is an unlikely worst-case scenario.
Typically, my sink repairs take only 1-2 hours to complete. It’s far quicker than the process of removing and replacing your sink. 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. This process is still much quicker and cheaper compared to ripping out and 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 need a sink restored or repaired, I’m here to help.
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. Any reputable repair company will not guarantee an invisible repair, so be cautious of those who do as they likely won’t last long.
By repairing your sink rather than replacing it, you'll save time, money, and reduce your environmental impact. When you repair and restore your sink, you’ll avoid contributing more waste to your local landfill.
I’ve had customers ask if DIY Repair Kits would work for their sink repairs. 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 want to try it yourself, that’s fine, but I’ll be here for a professional repair when you ask.
How long can I expect my sink repair to last?
Each of my sink repairs is backed 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. I often recommend replacing the sink when this happens, but if you wish to keep your original sink, we can still repair it.
