Due to regular use, sinks often require repairs, especially after damage. Accidents like dropping glass bottles, pots, and pans can lead to chips and cracks on 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. 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 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. It’s the most economical way to get a brand-new looking sink again without having to actually replace it. I guarantee all my sink repairs for 12 months, and I’m fully insured for your peace of mind. 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. The colour matching is done by eye, mixing various tinters into the standard white enamel paint until it perfectly matches your sink. The repair will be obvious if the new paint doesn’t match your sink perfectly. Through years of experience, I’ve mastered this specialised skill in sink repairs. Most sinks are white, but there is actually a significant variation in their exact shade of white. Manufacturers use varying shades of white, and the sink’s age, usage, and exposure to chemicals or sunlight will affect its shade. I pay close attention to get the perfect colour match whenever I perform 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.
All my repairs are done with professional-grade materials that are not available at standard DIY stores. I use only the highest quality bonder and enamel paint to ensure all repairs stand the test of time. Having used the same materials for many years, I know they work and create lasting high-quality repairs every time. By using low-cost materials, some companies risk failed repairs and poor results. Every repair I do comes with a 12-month guarantee, unless stated 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. Next, I colour match the new paint to your sink and apply another layer of bonder before spraying on the enamel. I use a fine spray gun to apply the new surface, which ensures the repair blends seamlessly.
Whenever I find damage on a sink, I evaluate the extent of it to figure out the most effective repair method. 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 extensive and affects a large portion of the sink, resurfacing the whole sink would be the most effective solution. 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. In this case, if I do the repair, I wouldn’t be able to offer a guarantee on it. But rest assured, this is an unlikely worst-case scenario.
Most sink repairs I perform take around 1-2 hours. This is a lot quicker than having to remove and replace your sink. Resurfacing a sink takes a day because I need to carefully mask off the room to avoid overspray. Once again, resurfacing is far quicker and more cost-effective than removing and replacing your sink. Restoring antique sinks by resurfacing them is something I do regularly, bringing them back to their original beauty. The detailing and features on antique sinks are often more beautiful than what you find on modern sinks. I’m here to assist if your sink needs saving.
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. You might be able to spot something with a torch, but that’s not something you’d typically do 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.
Having your sink repaired instead of replacing it will save you money, time, and is environmentally friendly. Repairing your sink means you won’t be adding unnecessary waste to the landfill.
I’ve had customers ask if DIY Repair Kits would work for their sink repairs. 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. 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?
My sink repairs are all guaranteed 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. The only time I can't offer a guarantee on a repair is if there is structural damage or extensive damage, and in this case, I'll make sure you know that I can't offer a guarantee before you go ahead 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.
