It’s common for sinks to need repairs due to the daily wear and tear they experience. Sinks often get chips and cracks from dropped items like glass bottles, pots, or pans. Things like using harsh cleaners and soaps will slowly erode the shiny surface of your sink, making dirt stick to it and compromising its top layer. 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 perform all repairs at your location, and most sink repairs are completed within 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 economical option for making your sink look new again without the expense of replacement. My sink repairs are guaranteed for 12 months 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 requires mixing tinters into white enamel paint by eye until an exact match to your sink’s colour is achieved. 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. Even though most sinks are white, there is a huge variation in what shade of white your sink may be. Your sink’s exact shade of white depends on the manufacturer and factors like age, usage, and chemical or sunlight exposure. Getting the exact colour match is crucial, so I’m very careful when doing 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. The bonder and enamel paint I use are the best quality, ensuring that all repairs are durable and long-lasting. Since I’ve been using the same materials for years, I can trust that they 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. Every repair I do comes with a 12-month guarantee, unless stated otherwise.
The initial step in my sink repair process is to apply a unique bonder to the damaged area and then fill the damage. After colour matching the new paint to your sink, I apply an additional 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.
Whenever I find damage on a sink, I evaluate the extent of it to figure out the most effective repair method. For minor chips or scratches, I can complete a quick chip repair in just 1-2 hours. For larger damage that covers a bigger area, resurfacing the entire sink is usually the best option. 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. In this case, if I do the repair, I wouldn’t be able to offer a guarantee on it. But this is the worst-case scenario.
The average sink repair takes only 1-2 hours. This is much faster than removing your sink and replacing it. Resurfacing a sink takes a day because I need to carefully mask off the room to avoid overspray. This process is still much quicker and cheaper compared to ripping out and replacing your sink. My work includes resurfacing antique sinks to restore their beauty and make them look like new. Antique sinks often have intricate detailing and unique features that modern sinks lack. If you need a sink restored or repaired, I’m here to help.
I ensure all my repairs are completed to the highest standard, focusing on durability and making sure they aren’t visible with normal use. While it’s possible to see something with a torch, it’s not common to use one when you’re using the sink as intended. 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.
Repairing your sink rather than replacing it will save you time, money, and is better for the environment. You won’t be adding more waste to your local landfill site when you choose to repair and restore your sink.
I’ve had customers ask if DIY Repair Kits would work for their sink repairs. The issue with DIY Repair Kits is that they include low-quality materials, which means the repair won’t last. Getting a proper colour match is difficult with the basic tinter that comes with these kits. 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.
What’s the expected lifespan of a sink repair?
My sink repairs are all guaranteed for 12 months. Repairs are designed to last as long as the sink itself, and if a failure occurs, it will happen 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. Typically, I recommend replacing the sink in such cases, but if you’d like to keep the original sink, we can still repair it.
