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. Using abrasive cleaners or soaps can dull your sink’s surface, making it more prone to dirt build-up. I specialize in repairing sinks and can resurface the entire sink for a complete restoration. 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. This is the most cost-effective way to make your sink look brand new without the need for replacement. All sink repairs come with a 12-month guarantee, and I’m fully insured. Your sink will look brand new in no time!
A key element of a top-quality sink repair is ensuring the new enamel paint matches your existing sink perfectly. 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 new paint doesn't match your sink perfectly, you will notice the repair. I’ve perfected this skill after years of repairing sinks and colour matching. Even though white is the most common sink colour, the shade of white can vary widely. 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.
All my repairs are done with professional-grade materials that are not available at standard DIY stores. The bonder and enamel paint I use are the best quality, ensuring that all repairs are durable and long-lasting. 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. 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. I then colour match the new paint to your sink and apply another layer of bonder before spraying on the new enamel. Applying the new enamel with a fine spray gun guarantees that the repair blends in as smoothly as possible.
Whenever I encounter damage on a sink, I have to make sure I know how bad the damage is so I can determine the best way to fix it. 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 there’s a major crack or hole, I can still fix it, though I may recommend replacing the sink if it’s causing structural problems. If I proceed with the repair in this situation, I cannot provide a guarantee. But this 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. 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. Once again, resurfacing is far quicker and more cost-effective than removing and 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. I’m here to assist if your sink needs saving.
All of my repairs are done to a very high standard, and this is defined by creating a repair that will last and is not noticeable with normal usage. If you shine a torch over the repair, you might spot something, but this is rarely done in regular use. No reputable repair company will promise you an invisible repair, so be wary of any companies that do, because they probably won’t be in business 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.
Some customers have asked about DIY Repair Kits and whether they can handle their repairs themselves. DIY Repair Kits use low-quality materials, so the repair is unlikely to last long. Getting a proper colour match is difficult with the basic tinter that comes with these kits. You can absolutely give it a try if you feel confident, but I’ll be here to do a professional repair when you ask me.
How durable is a sink repair?
Each of my sink repairs is backed by a 12-month guarantee. Repairs should last as long as the sink itself, and in the unlikely case that one fails, it will occur 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. 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.
