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 cleaning products gradually dull the surface of your sink, making it harder to maintain and clean. I have been repairing sinks for many years and can also do full sink restorations by resurfacing the whole surface of your sink when needed. All of my work is done in-situ, and a normal sink repair will only take about 1-2 hours! Once the repair is completed, your sink will be ready to use again in 24 hours, saving you time and money. This is the most cost-effective way to make your sink look brand new without the need for replacement. I guarantee all my sink repairs for 12 months, and I’m fully insured for your peace of mind. Your sink will be as good as new in no time!
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. A mismatch in the paint will make the repair noticeable. This is a very specialised skill that I have perfected after many years of application. 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. Getting the exact colour match is crucial, so I’m very careful when doing repairs. If you opt for a full sink resurfacing, I’ll spray it with a brilliant white finish to make it look as good as new.
I only use top-quality materials that you won't find in your local DIY store. I’ve sourced the best quality bonder and enamel paint to ensure all my repairs last. I’ve relied on these materials for years, and they consistently create durable, top-quality repairs. 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.
When repairing a sink, the first thing I do is apply a special bonder to the damaged area before filling it in. After colour matching the new paint to your sink, I apply an additional layer of bonder before spraying on the new enamel. Using a fine spray gun to apply the new surface ensures the repair will blend in as seamlessly as possible.
When I come across sink damage, I first assess how severe it is so I can decide on the best repair method. For minor chips or scratches, I can complete a quick chip repair in just 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 proceed with the repair in this situation, I cannot provide a guarantee. This situation is the worst-case scenario.
The majority of my sink repairs will only take about 1-2 hours. Replacing your sink would take much longer than this repair. 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. This is still a much quicker and more affordable option than completely replacing your sink. I’ve successfully restored many antique sinks, resurfacing them to look like new. Antique sinks typically feature intricate detailing that is not found on most modern sinks. If you have a sink that needs saving, I can help you.
I ensure all my repairs are completed to the highest standard, focusing on durability and making sure they aren’t visible with normal use. You might be able to spot something with a torch, but that’s not something you’d typically do when using your sink normally. 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.
By repairing your sink rather than replacing it, you'll save time, money, and reduce your environmental impact. 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 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. 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?
My sink repairs are all guaranteed 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. If the sink has structural or significant damage, I can’t guarantee the repair, but I’ll inform you before we proceed. 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.
