It’s common for sinks to need repairs due to the daily wear and tear they experience. Accidental drops of glass bottles, pots, pans, etc, can all cause chips and cracks to the surface of your sink. Using abrasive cleaners or soaps can dull your sink’s surface, making it more prone to dirt build-up. 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. 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 is the most affordable way to restore your sink’s appearance without replacing it. My repairs come with a 12-month warranty, and I’m fully insured. Your sink will be restored to its original condition in no time!
For a flawless sink repair, it’s essential to match the new enamel paint to the existing sink colour. I carefully blend tinters into the white enamel paint by eye to achieve the exact shade of your sink. If the new paint doesn't match your sink perfectly, you will notice the repair. This is a very specialised skill that I have perfected after many years of application. Even though white is the most common sink colour, the shade of white can vary widely. The shade of white your sink has depends on the manufacturer, its age, usage, and factors like sun damage or chemical discoloration. I have to be very careful to get an accurate colour match whenever I do repairs. If you choose to have your whole sink resurfaced, I will spray it with a new brilliant white so it looks brand new again.
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. Unlike other companies that use cheaper materials, I only use top-quality products to ensure repairs won’t fail. All repairs come with a 12-month guarantee, unless otherwise stated.
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. To ensure a flawless finish, I use a fine spray gun when applying the new surface, so the repair blends in perfectly.
Before I fix any damage on a sink, I always assess how serious the damage is to determine the right repair approach. 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. For larger damage that covers a bigger area, resurfacing the entire sink is usually the best option. 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. If I proceed with the repair in this situation, I cannot provide a guarantee. However, this is a worst-case situation.
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. 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. Antique sinks often have intricate detailing and unique features that modern sinks lack. If your sink is in need of repair, I can help restore it.
I ensure all my repairs are completed to the highest standard, focusing on durability and making sure they aren’t visible with normal 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.
Repairing your sink rather than replacing it will save you time, money, and is better for the environment. By choosing to repair your sink, you’re helping reduce waste at your local landfill site.
Some people wonder if they can use DIY Repair Kits to fix their sinks on their own. The problem with DIY Repair Kits is that the materials are of poor quality, leading to a repair that won't last. Getting a proper colour match is difficult with the basic tinter that comes with these kits. If you want to try it yourself, that’s fine, but I’ll be here for a professional repair when you ask.
How long can I expect my sink repair to 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 there’s structural or extensive damage, I can’t offer a guarantee, but I will inform you of this before proceeding with 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.
