Sink repairs are frequently needed because of the constant use they face. Glass bottles, pots, and pans are common culprits of chips and cracks on sink surfaces. Harsh cleaners and soaps can erode the shiny surface of your sink, making it harder to clean and causing dirt to stick. 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 handle all repairs in your home, and a regular sink repair will take just 1-2 hours. Your sink will be ready to use within 24 hours after repair, saving you time and avoiding replacement costs. This is the most cost-effective way to make your sink look brand new without the need for replacement. I offer a 12-month guarantee on all my sink repairs, and I’m fully insured. Your sink will be as good as new 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. 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. While sinks are generally white, the exact shade of white can differ greatly. Different manufacturers use different shades, and factors like the age of the sink, how much usage it’s had, and if it has been discoloured by chemicals or sunlight can all affect the final colour. Getting the exact colour match is crucial, so I’m very careful when doing repairs. Should you decide to resurface your sink, I will apply a fresh, brilliant white coating to restore it to like-new condition.
I only use top-quality materials that you won't find in your local DIY store. For lasting repairs, I always use premium bonder and enamel paint. Since I’ve been using the same materials for years, I can trust that they create lasting, high-quality repairs every time. Some companies use cheaper materials to save money, but this can result in repairs that don’t last and poor outcomes. 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. Once I’ve matched the paint, I apply a second layer of bonder and then spray on the enamel. The use of a fine spray gun helps the new surface blend into the existing sink, creating a seamless repair.
Whenever I find damage on a sink, I evaluate the extent of it to figure out the most effective repair method. 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. If I repair it in this situation, I can’t offer a guarantee. This situation is the worst-case scenario.
Most of my sink repairs can be completed in just 1-2 hours. This is a lot quicker than having to remove and replace your sink. If you want to have your sink resurfaced, then this will take me a day to do, as I need to spend a lot of time masking off the rest of the room to protect it from 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. Old antique sinks have beautiful details and features that are hard to find in modern models. If you have a sink that needs saving, I can help you.
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 shine a torch over the repair, you might spot something, but this is rarely done in regular use. Any reputable repair company will not guarantee an invisible repair, so be cautious of those who do as they likely won’t last 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 people wonder if they can use DIY Repair Kits to fix their sinks on their own. The issue with DIY Repair Kits is that they include low-quality materials, which means the repair won’t last. The basic tinter in DIY kits makes it challenging to get an accurate colour match. Feel free to try it yourself if you feel up to it, but I’ll be here for a professional repair when you’re ready.
How long can I expect my sink repair to last?
All of my sink repairs come with a 12-month guarantee. Repairs are designed to last as long as the sink itself, and if a failure occurs, it will happen 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. Typically, I recommend replacing the sink in such cases, but if you’d like to keep the original sink, we can still repair it.
