It’s common for sinks to need repairs due to the daily wear and tear they experience. Accidental drops of glass bottles, pots, pans, etc, can all cause chips and cracks to the surface of your sink. Using abrasive cleaners or soaps can dull your sink’s surface, making it more prone to dirt build-up. With years of experience repairing sinks, I also offer full sink restorations through resurfacing. I handle all repairs in your home, and a regular sink repair will take just 1-2 hours. Your sink will be ready to use within 24 hours after repair, saving you time and avoiding replacement costs. Repairing and resurfacing your sink is the most economical way to restore it to like-new condition without replacing it. My sink repairs are guaranteed for 12 months and I’m fully insured. It won’t take long before your sink looks brand new again!
One of the most important parts of a great sink repair is to accurately colour match the new enamel paint to your existing sink. On the day of the repair, I mix different tinters into the standard white enamel paint by eye until it matches your sink’s shade exactly. 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. Different brands use different shades of white, and factors like age, usage, and exposure to chemicals or sunlight can all change the shade. Getting the exact colour match is crucial, so I’m very careful when doing 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’ve sourced the best quality bonder and enamel paint to ensure all my repairs last. Having used the same materials for many years, I know they work and create lasting high-quality repairs every time. Some other companies cut corners by using cheaper materials, but this could lead to repairs failing and poor results. Every repair I do comes with a 12-month guarantee, unless stated otherwise.
The repair process starts with applying a special bonder to the damaged area and filling it in. I colour match the paint to your sink, then apply a second layer of bonder before spraying the enamel. Applying the new enamel with a fine spray gun guarantees that the repair blends in as smoothly as possible.
Before I fix any damage on a sink, I always assess how serious the damage is to determine the right repair approach. If there are just a few chips or scratches, then I can do a simple chip repair that only 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 proceed with the repair in this situation, I cannot provide a guarantee. This situation is the worst-case scenario.
Typically, my sink repairs take only 1-2 hours to complete. This is much faster than removing your sink and replacing it. 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. I’m here to assist if your sink needs saving.
Every repair I do is completed to a high standard, ensuring it lasts and blends in with regular 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. 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.
By repairing your sink rather than replacing it, you'll save time, money, and reduce your environmental impact. By choosing to repair your sink, you’re helping reduce waste at your local landfill site.
Some people wonder if they can use DIY Repair Kits to fix their sinks on their own. The problem with DIY Repair Kits is that the materials are of poor quality, leading to a repair that won't last. It’s hard to achieve a true colour match with the basic tinter that’s supplied in these kits. You’re welcome to give it a go if you feel confident, but I’m here to provide a professional repair when you need it.
How long will a sink repair last?
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. In cases of structural or extensive damage, I can’t provide a guarantee, but I’ll make sure to let you know before proceeding. Typically, I recommend replacing the sink in such cases, but if you’d like to keep the original sink, we can still repair it.
