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 cleaning products gradually dull the surface of your sink, making it harder to maintain and clean. 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. Repairing and resurfacing your sink is the most economical way to restore it to like-new condition without replacing it. My sink repairs are guaranteed for 12 months and I’m fully insured. It won’t take long before your sink looks brand new again!
The most important part of a sink repair is accurately colour matching the new enamel paint to the shade of your 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. I’ve refined this specialised skill over many years of experience. Most sinks are white, but there is actually a significant variation in their exact shade of white. Different brands use different shades of white, and factors like age, usage, and exposure to chemicals or sunlight can all change the shade. I have to be very careful to get an accurate colour match whenever I do repairs. When resurfacing your sink, I’ll apply a brilliant white coat to give it a brand-new appearance.
I rely on professional-grade materials that are not found in your local DIY store. I’ve sourced the best quality bonder and enamel paint to ensure all my repairs last. Having used the same materials for many years, I know they work and create lasting high-quality repairs every time. Some other companies cut corners by using cheaper materials, but this could lead to repairs failing and poor results. All repairs come with a 12-month guarantee, unless otherwise stated.
When repairing a sink, the first thing I do is apply a special bonder to the damaged area before filling it in. 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.
The first step in any sink repair is assessing the damage to figure out the best solution. 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. 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, any repair I do will not come with a guarantee. This situation is the worst-case scenario.
The majority of my sink repairs will only take about 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. I’ve successfully restored many antique sinks, resurfacing them to look like 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. You might be able to spot something with a torch, but that’s not something you’d typically do when using your sink normally. Reputable repair companies don’t promise invisible repairs, so be wary of companies that do as they likely won’t be in business for long.
Having your sink repaired instead of replacing it will save you money, time, and is environmentally friendly. Repairing your sink helps cut down on waste and prevents more trash from going to the landfill.
Some customers have asked about DIY Repair Kits and whether they can handle their repairs themselves. The problem with DIY Repair Kits is that the materials are of poor quality, leading to a repair that won't last. The basic tinter in DIY kits makes it challenging to get an accurate colour match. 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.
What’s the expected lifespan of a sink repair?
All of my sink repairs come with a 12-month guarantee. 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. I can’t offer a guarantee if there’s structural or extensive damage, and I’ll let you know before starting the repair. When this occurs, I usually suggest replacing the sink, but if you want to preserve your original sink, I can still help with the repair.
