Sink repairs are very common due to the hard usage that sinks have to endure. Glass bottles, pots, and pans are common culprits of chips and cracks on sink surfaces. Using abrasive cleaners or soaps can dull your sink’s surface, making it more prone to dirt build-up. With extensive experience in sink repairs, I can also resurface your sink for full restoration when required. All repairs are completed on-site, and a standard sink repair takes just 1-2 hours. Your sink will be ready to use within 24 hours after repair, saving you time and avoiding replacement costs. This is the most cost-effective way to make your sink look brand new without the need for replacement. My repairs come with a 12-month warranty, and I’m fully insured. Your sink will be as good as new in no time!
One of the most important parts of a great sink repair is to accurately colour match the new enamel paint to your existing sink. This process requires mixing tinters into white enamel paint by eye until an exact match to your sink’s colour is achieved. A mismatch in the paint will make the repair noticeable. I’ve perfected this skill after years of repairing sinks and colour matching. Even though white is the most common sink colour, the shade of white can vary widely. The shade of white your sink has depends on the manufacturer, its age, usage, and factors like sun damage or chemical discoloration. It’s important to get an accurate colour match, and I’m very meticulous in doing so. 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. To guarantee long-lasting repairs, I’ve sourced the best quality bonder and enamel paint. I’ve trusted these materials for years, and they always produce long-lasting, high-quality results. Other companies may try to cut costs with cheaper materials, but that can lead to failed repairs and subpar results. I offer a 12-month guarantee on all my repairs, unless otherwise noted.
The repair process starts with applying a special bonder to the damaged area and filling it in. Once I’ve matched the paint, I apply a second layer of bonder and then spray on the enamel. Applying the new enamel with a fine spray gun guarantees that the repair blends in as smoothly as possible.
When I come across sink damage, I first assess how severe it is so I can decide on the best repair method. 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. If the damage is greater and covers a larger area of the sink, it would be best to resurface the whole sink. In the case of a large crack or hole, I can still perform a repair, but I may advise replacing the sink due to possible structural damage. If I repair it in this situation, I can’t offer a guarantee. This situation is the worst-case scenario.
The majority of my sink repairs will only take about 1-2 hours. It’s far quicker than the process of removing and replacing your sink. 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. Again, this is still so much faster and cheaper than ripping out and replacing your sink. I have done a lot of work restoring antique sinks to look brand new again by resurfacing them. These old antique sinks usually have beautiful detailing and features that you just don’t get 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. While it’s possible to see something with a torch, it’s not common to use one when you’re using the sink as intended. A company that promises an invisible repair is likely not reputable, and they probably won’t be around for long.
Having your sink repaired instead of replacing it will save you money, time, and is environmentally friendly. 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 issue with DIY Repair Kits is that they include low-quality materials, which means the repair 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 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. In cases of structural or extensive damage, I can’t provide a guarantee, but I’ll make sure to let you know before proceeding. When this occurs, I usually suggest replacing the sink, but if you want to preserve your original sink, I can still help with the repair.
