Due to regular use, sinks often require repairs, especially after damage. Accidental drops of glass bottles, pots, pans, etc, can all cause chips and cracks to the surface of your sink. Using abrasive cleaners or soaps can dull your sink’s surface, making it more prone to dirt build-up. With extensive experience in sink repairs, I can also resurface your sink for full restoration when required. All repairs are completed on-site, and a standard sink repair takes just 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 your sink is the most economical way to restore it to like-new condition without replacing it. All sink repairs come with a 12-month guarantee, and I’m fully insured. Your sink will look brand 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. 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. Most sinks are white, but there is actually a significant variation in their exact shade of white. 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 opt for a full sink resurfacing, I’ll spray it with a brilliant white finish to make it look as good as new.
The materials I use are high-quality and not available in your typical DIY store. I use only the highest quality bonder and enamel paint to ensure all repairs stand the test of time. I’ve relied on these materials for years, and they consistently create durable, top-quality repairs. Some companies use cheaper materials to save money, but this can result in repairs that don’t last and poor outcomes. I stand by my work with a 12-month guarantee on all repairs, unless specified otherwise.
When repairing a sink, the first thing I do is apply a special bonder to the damaged area before 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. The use of a fine spray gun helps the new surface blend into the existing sink, creating a seamless repair.
When I come across sink damage, I first assess how severe it is so I can decide on the best repair method. When dealing with a few chips or scratches, I can fix them quickly with a chip repair that takes about 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. If I proceed with the repair in this situation, I cannot provide a guarantee. This situation is the worst-case scenario.
The average sink repair takes only 1-2 hours. This is much faster than the hassle of removing and replacing your sink. Resurfacing a sink takes a day because I need to carefully mask off the room to avoid overspray. Once again, resurfacing is far quicker and more cost-effective than removing and replacing your sink. I have experience restoring antique sinks and resurfacing them to make them look brand new. Antique sinks often have intricate detailing and unique features that modern sinks lack. If your sink is in need of repair, I can help restore it.
Every repair I do is completed to a high standard, ensuring it lasts and blends in with regular use. 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.
Having your sink repaired instead of replacing it will save you money, time, and is environmentally friendly. You won’t be adding more waste to your local landfill site when you choose to repair and restore your sink.
I’ve been asked by customers if DIY Repair Kits are a good option for repairing their sinks. The issue with DIY Repair Kits is that they include low-quality materials, which means the repair won’t last. Another problem is that the basic tinter included makes it difficult to achieve a true colour match. 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 long can I expect my sink repair to last?
I guarantee all my sink repairs for 12 months. 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 there’s structural or extensive damage, I can’t offer a guarantee, but I will inform you of this before proceeding with the repair. When this happens, I usually recommend replacing the sink, but if you want to keep your original sink, we can still help you repair it.
