It’s common for sinks to need repairs due to the daily wear and tear they experience. 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. I’ve been repairing sinks for years and can provide full resurfacing for your sink when necessary. I handle all repairs in your home, and a regular sink repair will take just 1-2 hours. Once the repair is completed, your sink will be ready to use again in 24 hours, saving you time and money. Repairing and resurfacing is the most affordable way to restore your sink’s appearance without replacing it. All sink repairs come with a 12-month guarantee, and I’m fully insured. Your sink will be looking brand new again in no time!
A crucial part of a successful sink repair is matching the new enamel paint to the exact colour of your existing sink. 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. The repair will be obvious if the new paint doesn’t match your sink perfectly. I’ve refined this specialised skill over many years of experience. While sinks are generally white, the exact shade of white can differ greatly. 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 decide to resurface your entire sink, I will apply a brilliant white finish to restore its original look.
The materials I use are high-quality and not available in your typical DIY store. I use only the highest quality bonder and enamel paint to ensure all repairs stand the test of time. 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. I offer a 12-month guarantee on all my repairs, unless otherwise noted.
The repair process starts with applying a special bonder to the damaged area and filling it in. Once I’ve matched the paint, I apply a second layer of bonder and then spray on the enamel. I use a fine spray gun to apply the new surface, which ensures the repair blends seamlessly.
Before I fix any damage on a sink, I always assess how serious the damage is to determine the right repair approach. In cases of minor chips or scratches, I can perform a quick chip repair that usually takes around 1-2 hours. If the damage is extensive and affects a large portion of the sink, resurfacing the whole sink would be the most effective solution. 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, if I do the repair, I wouldn’t be able to offer a guarantee on it. But rest assured, this is an unlikely worst-case scenario.
The average sink repair takes only 1-2 hours. This is much faster than the hassle of removing and replacing your sink. Resurfacing a sink takes a day because I need to carefully mask off the room to avoid overspray. This is still a much quicker and more affordable option than completely replacing your sink. I have experience restoring antique sinks and resurfacing them to make them look brand new. Antique sinks typically feature intricate detailing that is not found on most modern sinks. 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. You might be able to spot something with a torch, but that’s not something you’d typically do when using your sink normally. A company that promises an invisible repair is likely not reputable, and they probably won’t be around for long.
By repairing your sink rather than replacing it, you'll save time, money, and reduce your environmental impact. Repairing your sink helps cut down on waste and prevents more trash from going to the landfill.
I’ve been asked by customers if DIY Repair Kits are a good option for repairing their sinks. The problem with DIY Repair Kits is that the materials are of poor quality, leading to a repair that won't last. Another problem is that the basic tinter included makes it difficult to achieve a true 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.
How long will a sink repair last?
My sink repairs are all guaranteed 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 happens, I usually recommend replacing the sink, but if you want to keep your original sink, we can still help you repair it.
