Sink repairs are very common due to the hard usage that sinks have to endure. Sinks often get chips and cracks from dropped items like glass bottles, pots, or pans. Harsh cleaning products gradually dull the surface of your sink, making it harder to maintain and clean. 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. I do all my repairs on-site, and a typical sink repair only takes 1-2 hours. You’ll be able to use your sink again 24 hours later, saving you time and money on having it replaced. Repairing and resurfacing is the most affordable way to restore your sink’s appearance without replacing it. My sink repairs are guaranteed for 12 months and I’m fully insured. Your sink will be as good as new in no time!
One of the most important parts of a great sink repair is to accurately colour match the new enamel paint to your existing sink. This process must be done by eye on the day of your repair, mixing various tinters into the standard white enamel paint until I get an exact match to your sink. The repair will be obvious if the new paint doesn’t match your sink perfectly. I’ve perfected this skill after years of repairing sinks and colour matching. While sinks are generally white, the exact shade of white can differ greatly. Different brands use different shades of white, and factors like age, usage, and exposure to chemicals or sunlight can all change the shade. Getting the exact colour match is crucial, so I’m very careful when doing repairs. If you opt for a full sink resurfacing, I’ll spray it with a brilliant white finish to make it look as good as new.
I always use professional-grade materials that aren't available at your local 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. 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 repair process starts with applying a special bonder to the damaged area and filling it in. Next, I colour match the new paint to your sink and apply another layer of bonder before spraying on the enamel. The use of a fine spray gun helps the new surface blend into the existing sink, creating a seamless repair.
The first step in any sink repair is assessing the damage to figure out the best solution. In cases of minor chips or scratches, I can perform a quick chip repair that usually takes around 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, if I do the repair, I wouldn’t be able to offer a guarantee on it. This situation is the worst-case scenario.
The average sink repair takes only 1-2 hours. Replacing your sink would take much longer than this repair. 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. Again, this is still so much faster and cheaper than ripping out and replacing your sink. Restoring antique sinks by resurfacing them is something I do regularly, bringing them back to their original beauty. Antique sinks typically feature intricate detailing that is not found on most modern sinks. If you have a sink that needs attention, I’m here to provide help.
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. Be cautious of any repair companies that promise an invisible repair, as no reputable business would make such a guarantee.
Repairing your sink rather than replacing it will save you time, money, and is better for the environment. When you repair and restore your sink, you’ll avoid contributing more waste to your local landfill.
Some people wonder if they can use DIY Repair Kits to fix their sinks on their own. DIY Repair Kits often include poor-quality materials that won’t provide a lasting repair. It is also very hard to get a true colour match with the basic tinter they supply. You’re welcome to give it a go if you feel confident, but I’m here to provide a professional repair when you need it.
How durable is a sink repair?
Every sink repair I do is covered by a 12-month guarantee. Sink repairs should last for as long as the rest of the sink itself, and in the unlikely event that one of our repairs fails, it will do so 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. 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.
