It’s common for sinks to need repairs due to the daily wear and tear they experience. Things like dropping glass bottles, pots, and pans can easily chip or crack your sink. Harsh cleaners and soaps can erode the shiny surface of your sink, making it harder to clean and causing dirt to stick. 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. You’ll be able to use your sink again 24 hours later, saving you time and money on having it replaced. It’s the most economical way to get a brand-new looking sink again without having to actually replace it. All sink repairs come with a 12-month guarantee, 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. 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. 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. Getting the exact colour match is crucial, so I’m very careful when doing repairs. Should you decide to resurface your sink, I will apply a fresh, brilliant white coating to restore it to like-new condition.
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. Since I’ve been using the same materials for years, I can trust that they create lasting, high-quality repairs every time. Unlike other companies that use cheaper materials, I only use top-quality products to ensure repairs won’t fail. I offer a 12-month guarantee on all my repairs, unless otherwise noted.
I begin a sink repair by applying a special bonder to the affected area and filling in the damage. Next, I colour match the new paint to your sink and apply another layer of bonder before spraying on the enamel. Using a fine spray gun to apply the new surface ensures the repair will blend in as seamlessly as possible.
Before I fix any damage on a sink, I always assess how serious the damage is to determine the right repair approach. If there are just a few chips or scratches, then I can do a simple chip repair that only takes about 1-2 hours. In cases of more significant damage that spans a larger area, it’s best to resurface the entire sink. If there’s a major crack or hole, I can still fix it, though I may recommend replacing the sink if it’s causing structural problems. If I proceed with the repair in this situation, I cannot provide a guarantee. This situation is the worst-case scenario.
Most of my sink repairs can be completed in just 1-2 hours. It’s far quicker than the process of removing and replacing your sink. Resurfacing your sink will take a full day, as I spend time masking the room to protect from any overspray. This is still a much quicker and more affordable option than completely replacing your sink. I have done a lot of work restoring antique sinks to look brand new again by resurfacing them. 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.
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. 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. Any reputable repair company will not guarantee an invisible repair, so be cautious of those who do as they likely won’t last long.
Having your sink repaired instead of replacing it will save you money, time, and is environmentally friendly. When you repair and restore your sink, you’ll avoid contributing more waste to your local landfill.
Some people wonder if they can use DIY Repair Kits to fix their sinks on their own. DIY Repair Kits use low-quality materials, so the repair is unlikely to last long. The basic tinter in DIY kits makes it challenging to get an accurate colour match. You can absolutely give it a try if you feel confident, but I’ll be here to do a professional repair when you ask me.
What’s the expected lifespan of a sink repair?
Every sink repair I do is covered by a 12-month guarantee. Repairs are designed to last as long as the sink itself, and if a failure occurs, it will happen 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. 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.
