Sinks often require repairs due to the heavy usage they undergo. Things like dropping glass bottles, pots, and pans can easily chip or crack your sink. Things like using harsh cleaners and soaps will slowly erode the shiny surface of your sink, making dirt stick to it and compromising its top layer. 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! You’ll be able to use your sink again 24 hours later, saving you time and money on having it replaced. Repairing and resurfacing is the most affordable way to restore your sink’s appearance without replacing it. I offer a 12-month guarantee on all my sink repairs, and I’m fully insured. 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 requires mixing tinters into white enamel paint by eye until an exact match to your sink’s colour is achieved. If the paint doesn’t match your sink exactly, you’ll be able to see the repair. I’ve refined this specialised skill over many years of experience. Even though white is the most common sink colour, the shade of white can vary widely. Different brands use different shades of white, and factors like age, usage, and exposure to chemicals or sunlight can all change the shade. I pay close attention to get the perfect colour match whenever I perform repairs. If you choose to have your whole sink resurfaced, I will spray it with a new brilliant white so it looks brand new again.
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. With years of experience using these materials, I know they provide consistent, durable, and high-quality repairs. By using low-cost materials, some companies risk failed repairs and poor results. I offer a 12-month guarantee on all my repairs, unless otherwise noted.
When repairing a sink, the first thing I do is apply a special bonder to the damaged area before filling it in. Once I’ve matched the paint, I apply a second layer of bonder and then spray on the enamel. To ensure a flawless finish, I use a fine spray gun when applying the new surface, so the repair blends in perfectly.
Whenever I find damage on a sink, I evaluate the extent of it to figure out the most effective repair method. When dealing with a few chips or scratches, I can fix them quickly with a chip repair that 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. In this case, any repair I do will not come with a guarantee. This situation is the worst-case scenario.
Most of my sink repairs can be completed in just 1-2 hours. Replacing your sink would take much longer than this repair. Resurfacing a sink takes a day because I need to carefully mask off the room to avoid overspray. Again, this is still so much faster and cheaper than ripping out and 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 your sink is in need of repair, I can help restore it.
My repairs are always done to the highest standard, ensuring longevity and that they remain inconspicuous 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. 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.
Having your sink repaired instead of replacing it will save you money, time, and is environmentally friendly. You won’t be adding more waste to your local landfill site when you choose to repair and restore your sink.
Some customers have asked about DIY Repair Kits and whether they can handle their repairs themselves. The issue with DIY Repair Kits is that they include low-quality materials, which means the repair won’t last. The basic tinter in DIY kits makes it challenging to get an accurate colour match. Feel free to try it yourself if you feel up to it, but I’ll be here for a professional repair when you’re ready.
How long will a sink repair last?
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. 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.
