Sinks often require repairs due to the heavy usage they undergo. Accidental drops of glass bottles, pots, pans, etc, can all cause chips and cracks to the surface of your sink. The use of strong cleaners and soaps can damage your sink’s finish, causing dirt to adhere and wear down its surface. With extensive experience in sink repairs, I can also resurface your sink for full restoration when required. I perform all repairs at your location, and most sink repairs are completed within 1-2 hours. Your sink will be ready to use again in just 24 hours, saving both time and money compared to a full replacement. Repairing and resurfacing is the most affordable way to restore your sink’s appearance without replacing it. I guarantee all my sink repairs for 12 months, and I’m fully insured for your peace of mind. It won’t take long before your sink looks brand new again!
The most important part of a sink repair is accurately colour matching the new enamel paint to the shade of your sink. This process requires mixing tinters into white enamel paint by eye until an exact match to your sink’s colour is achieved. A mismatch in the paint will make the repair noticeable. This is a very specialised skill that I have perfected after many years of application. Even though most sinks are white, there is a huge variation in what shade of white your sink may be. Manufacturers use varying shades of white, and the sink’s age, usage, and exposure to chemicals or sunlight will affect its shade. Getting the exact colour match is crucial, so I’m very careful when doing repairs. When resurfacing your sink, I’ll apply a brilliant white coat to give it a brand-new appearance.
All my repairs are done with professional-grade materials that are not available at standard DIY stores. For lasting repairs, I always use premium bonder and enamel paint. I’ve relied on these materials for years, and they consistently create durable, top-quality repairs. By using low-cost materials, some companies risk failed repairs and poor 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. I use a fine spray gun to apply the new surface, which ensures the repair blends seamlessly.
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. If the damage is extensive and affects a large portion of the sink, resurfacing the whole sink would be the most effective solution. 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. Should I choose to repair it, I won’t be able to offer a guarantee on the work. But rest assured, this is an unlikely 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. Once again, resurfacing is far quicker and more cost-effective than removing and replacing your sink. My work includes resurfacing antique sinks to restore their beauty and make them look like new. Antique sinks typically feature intricate detailing that is not found on most modern sinks. I’m here to assist if your sink needs saving.
I perform all my repairs to a very high standard, focusing on durability and making sure the repair isn’t noticeable during normal usage. You might be able to spot something with a torch, but that’s not something you’d typically do when using your sink normally. Reputable repair companies don’t promise invisible repairs, so be wary of companies that do as they likely won’t be in business for long.
Opting to repair your sink instead of replacing it saves time, money, and helps the environment. You won’t be adding more waste to your local landfill site when you choose to repair and restore your sink.
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. Another problem is that the basic tinter included makes it difficult to achieve a true colour match. If you want to try it yourself, that’s fine, but I’ll be here for a professional repair when you ask.
How durable is a sink repair?
My sink repairs are all guaranteed for 12 months. 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. I can’t offer a guarantee if there’s structural or extensive damage, and I’ll let you know before starting the repair. I often recommend replacing the sink when this happens, but if you wish to keep your original sink, we can still repair it.
