Sinks often require repairs due to the heavy usage they undergo. Glass bottles, pots, and pans are common culprits of chips and cracks on sink surfaces. The use of strong cleaners and soaps can damage your sink’s finish, causing dirt to adhere and wear down its surface. 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. I perform all repairs at your location, and most sink repairs are completed within 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. All sink repairs come with a 12-month guarantee, and I’m fully insured. Your sink will look brand new in no time!
For a flawless sink repair, it’s essential to match the new enamel paint to the existing sink colour. 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. If the new paint doesn't match your sink perfectly, you will notice the repair. This is a very specialised skill that I have perfected after many years of application. Even though white is the most common sink colour, the shade of white can vary widely. 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. When resurfacing your sink, I’ll apply a brilliant white coat to give it a brand-new appearance.
I only use top-quality materials that you won't find in your local DIY store. To guarantee long-lasting repairs, I’ve sourced the best quality bonder and enamel paint. Having used the same materials for many years, I know they work and create lasting high-quality repairs every time. Some companies use cheaper materials to save money, but this can result in repairs that don’t last and poor outcomes. I stand by my work with a 12-month guarantee on all repairs, unless specified otherwise.
The first step when I do a sink repair is to apply a special bonder to the damaged area and then fill in the damage. 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.
The first step in any sink repair is assessing the damage to figure out the best solution. If there are just a few chips or scratches, then I can do a simple chip repair that only takes about 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. Should I choose to repair it, I won’t be able to offer a guarantee on the work. But rest assured, this is an unlikely worst-case scenario.
Most of my sink repairs can be completed in just 1-2 hours. 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. Once again, resurfacing is far quicker and more cost-effective than removing and replacing your sink. I have experience restoring antique sinks and resurfacing them to make them look brand new. The detailing and features on antique sinks are often more beautiful than what you find on modern sinks. If your sink is in need of repair, I can help restore it.
I ensure all my repairs are completed to the highest standard, focusing on durability and making sure they aren’t visible with normal use. If you were to get out a torch and shine it over the surface, you may be able to see something, but this is not very common 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.
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.
I’ve been asked by customers if DIY Repair Kits are a good option for repairing their sinks. The problem with DIY Repair Kits is that the materials are of poor quality, leading to a repair that won't last. Another problem is that the basic tinter included makes it difficult to achieve a true 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 long can I expect my sink repair to last?
All of my sink repairs come with a 12-month guarantee. 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. 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.
