It’s common for sinks to need repairs due to the daily wear and tear they experience. Sinks often get chips and cracks from dropped items like glass bottles, pots, or pans. 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. All repairs are completed on-site, and a standard sink repair takes just 1-2 hours. Your sink will be ready to use again in just 24 hours, saving both time and money compared to a full replacement. Repairing and resurfacing your sink is the most economical way to restore it to like-new condition 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 crucial part of a successful sink repair is matching the new enamel paint to the exact colour of your existing sink. The colour matching is done by eye, mixing various tinters into the standard white enamel paint until it perfectly matches your sink. A mismatch in the paint will make the repair noticeable. I’ve perfected this skill after years of repairing sinks and colour matching. While sinks are generally white, the exact shade of white can differ greatly. Manufacturers use varying shades of white, and the sink’s age, usage, and exposure to chemicals or sunlight will affect its shade. I have to be very careful to get an accurate colour match whenever I do 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. 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. Unlike other companies that use cheaper materials, I only use top-quality products to ensure repairs won’t fail. I stand by my work with a 12-month guarantee on all repairs, unless specified otherwise.
I begin a sink repair by applying a special bonder to the affected area and filling in the damage. I then colour match the new paint to your sink and apply another layer of bonder before spraying on the new enamel. The use of a fine spray gun helps the new surface blend into the existing sink, creating a seamless repair.
When I come across sink damage, I first assess how severe it is so I can decide on the best 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. 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. Should I choose to repair it, I won’t be able to offer a guarantee on the work. But this is the worst-case scenario.
Most sink repairs I perform take around 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. Even so, this is still much faster and more affordable than replacing your sink. I have experience restoring antique sinks and resurfacing them to make them look brand new. Antique sinks often have intricate detailing and unique features that modern sinks lack. If you have a sink that needs saving, I can help you.
All of my repairs are done to a very high standard, and this is defined by creating a repair that will last and is not noticeable with normal usage. If you were to shine a torch over the surface, you might notice something, but this isn't something you'd typically do while using your sink. Any reputable repair company will not guarantee an invisible repair, so be cautious of those who do as they likely won’t last long.
Opting to repair your sink instead of replacing it saves time, money, and helps the environment. You won’t be adding more waste to your local landfill site when you choose to repair and restore your sink.
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. It is also very hard to get a true colour match with the basic tinter they supply. If you want to try it yourself, that’s fine, but I’ll be here for a professional repair when you ask.
What’s the expected lifespan of a sink repair?
I guarantee all my sink repairs for 12 months. Your sink repair should last just as long as the sink itself, and any failure would occur within the first 12 months. If there’s structural or extensive damage, I can’t offer a guarantee, but I will inform you of this before proceeding with the repair. When this happens, I usually recommend replacing the sink, but if you want to keep your original sink, we can still help you repair it.
