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. Harsh cleaners and soaps can erode the shiny surface of your sink, making it harder to clean and causing dirt to stick. 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. 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. I offer a 12-month guarantee on all my sink repairs, and I’m fully insured. Your sink will look brand new in no time!
For a flawless sink repair, it’s essential to match the new enamel paint to the existing sink colour. On the day of the repair, I mix different tinters into the standard white enamel paint by eye until it matches your sink’s shade exactly. A mismatch in the paint will make the repair noticeable. This highly specialised skill has been developed over years of hands-on work. 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. It’s important to get an accurate colour match, and I’m very meticulous in doing so. If you decide to resurface your entire sink, I will apply a brilliant white finish to restore its original look.
I always use professional-grade materials that aren't available at your local DIY store. For lasting repairs, I always use premium bonder and enamel paint. I’ve trusted these materials for years, and they always produce long-lasting, high-quality results. Some companies use cheaper materials to save money, but this can result in repairs that don’t last and poor outcomes. I stand by my work with a 12-month guarantee on all repairs, unless specified 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. I then colour match the new paint to your sink and apply another layer of bonder before spraying on the new enamel. Applying the new enamel with a fine spray gun guarantees that the repair blends in as smoothly as possible.
The first step in any sink repair is assessing the damage to figure out the best solution. 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. 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. If I proceed with the repair in this situation, I cannot provide a guarantee. However, this is a worst-case situation.
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. Should you choose to resurface your sink, it will take about a day, as I must carefully mask off the surrounding room to prevent overspray. This is still a much quicker and more affordable option than completely 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.
My repairs are always done to the highest standard, ensuring longevity and that they remain inconspicuous with regular use. If you were to get out a torch and shine it over the surface, you may be able to see something, but this is not very common when using your sink normally. 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. 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. Getting a proper colour match is difficult with the basic tinter that comes with these kits. 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 durable is a sink repair?
Each of my sink repairs is backed by a 12-month guarantee. 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. 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. Typically, I recommend replacing the sink in such cases, but if you’d like to keep the original sink, we can still repair it.
