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. With extensive experience in sink repairs, I can also resurface your sink for full restoration when required. All of my work is done in-situ, and a normal sink repair will only take about 1-2 hours! In just 24 hours, you can use your sink again, avoiding the hassle and cost of replacement. Repairing and resurfacing your sink is the most economical way to restore it to like-new condition without replacing it. My repairs come with a 12-month warranty, and I’m fully insured. Your sink will be as good as 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. The repair will be obvious if the new paint doesn’t match your sink perfectly. This highly specialised skill has been developed over years of hands-on work. Although sinks are often white, the specific shade of white can vary considerably. Manufacturers use varying shades of white, and the sink’s age, usage, and exposure to chemicals or sunlight will affect its shade. 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.
I only use top-quality materials that you won't find in your local DIY store. I use only the highest quality bonder and enamel paint to ensure all repairs stand the test of time. With years of experience using these materials, I know they provide consistent, durable, and high-quality repairs. 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.
I begin a sink repair by applying a special bonder to the affected area and filling 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. Using a fine spray gun to apply the new surface ensures the repair will blend in as seamlessly as possible.
The first step in any sink repair is assessing the damage to figure out the best solution. For minor chips or scratches, I can complete a quick chip repair in just 1-2 hours. When the damage is widespread, resurfacing the sink is typically the best choice. In the case of a large crack or hole, I can still perform a repair, but I may advise replacing the sink due to possible structural damage. If I repair it in this situation, I can’t offer a guarantee. This is the worst-case scenario, though it’s rare.
Typically, my sink repairs take only 1-2 hours to complete. This is much faster than removing your sink and replacing it. Resurfacing your sink will take a full day, as I spend time masking the room to protect from any overspray. Again, this is still so much faster and cheaper than ripping out and 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. I’m here to assist if your sink needs saving.
Every repair I do is completed to a high standard, ensuring it lasts and blends in 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. Be cautious of any repair companies that promise an invisible repair, as no reputable business would make such a guarantee.
Opting to repair your sink instead of replacing it saves time, money, and helps the environment. 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. It is also very hard to get a true colour match with the basic tinter they supply. 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?
All of my sink repairs come with 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. The only time I can't offer a guarantee on a repair is if there is structural damage or extensive damage, and in this case, I'll make sure you know that I can't offer a guarantee before you go ahead with the repair. In these cases, I usually recommend replacing the sink, but if you prefer to keep your original sink, we can still help with the repair.
