Sink repairs are frequently needed because of the constant use they face. Glass bottles, pots, and pans are common culprits of chips and cracks on sink surfaces. The use of strong cleaners and soaps can damage your sink’s finish, causing dirt to adhere and wear down its surface. I specialize in repairing sinks and can resurface the entire sink for a complete restoration. 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. It’s the most economical way to get a brand-new looking sink again without having to actually replace it. I offer a 12-month guarantee on all my sink repairs, and I’m fully insured. It won’t take long before your sink looks brand new again!
A crucial part of a successful sink repair is matching the new enamel paint to the exact colour of your existing sink. I carefully blend tinters into the white enamel paint by eye to achieve the exact shade of your sink. If the paint doesn’t match your sink exactly, you’ll be able to see the repair. This is a very specialised skill that I have perfected after many years of application. Although sinks are often white, the specific shade of white can vary considerably. Your sink’s exact shade of white depends on the manufacturer and factors like age, usage, and chemical or sunlight exposure. It’s important to get an accurate colour match, and I’m very meticulous in doing so. If you choose to have your whole sink resurfaced, I will spray it with a new brilliant white so it looks brand new again.
The materials I use are high-quality and not available in your typical DIY store. For lasting repairs, I always use premium 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. Other companies may try to cut costs with cheaper materials, but that can lead to failed repairs and subpar results. All repairs come with a 12-month guarantee, unless otherwise stated.
The initial step in my sink repair process is to apply a unique bonder to the damaged area and then fill the damage. Next, I colour match the new paint to your sink and apply another layer of bonder before spraying 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. In cases of minor chips or scratches, I can perform a quick chip repair that usually takes around 1-2 hours. In cases of more significant damage that spans a larger area, it’s best to resurface the entire sink. For a large crack or hole, I can repair it, but I might suggest replacing the sink due to potential structural issues. Should I choose to repair it, I won’t be able to offer a guarantee on the work. This is the worst-case scenario, though it’s rare.
The average sink repair takes only 1-2 hours. This is much faster than the hassle of removing and replacing your sink. If you want to have your sink resurfaced, then this will take me a day to do, as I need to spend a lot of time masking off the rest of the room to protect it from overspray. Again, this is still so much faster and cheaper than ripping out and replacing your sink. My work includes resurfacing antique sinks to restore their beauty and make them look like new. Old antique sinks have beautiful details and features that are hard to find in modern models. If your sink is in need of repair, I can help restore it.
Every repair I do is completed to a high standard, ensuring it lasts and blends in with regular use. 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. Be cautious of any repair companies that promise an invisible repair, as no reputable business would make such a guarantee.
Choosing to repair your sink instead of replacing it will save both money and time, and it’s a more environmentally friendly option. 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. It is also very hard to get a true colour match with the basic tinter they supply. 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?
I guarantee all my sink repairs for 12 months. A proper sink repair should last as long as the rest of the sink, and if one of our repairs fails, it will most likely happen within the first 12 months. If the sink has structural or significant damage, I can’t guarantee the repair, but I’ll inform you before we proceed. 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.
