Sink repairs are very common due to the hard usage that sinks have to endure. 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. 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. All of my work is done in-situ, and a normal sink repair will only take about 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. I guarantee all my sink repairs for 12 months, and I’m fully insured for your peace of mind. Your sink will be as good as 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. The colour matching is done by eye, mixing various tinters into the standard white enamel paint until it perfectly matches 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. While sinks are generally white, the exact shade of white can differ greatly. Different brands use different shades of white, and factors like age, usage, and exposure to chemicals or sunlight can all change the shade. I have to be very careful to get an accurate colour match whenever I do repairs. If you decide to resurface your entire sink, I will apply a brilliant white finish to restore its original look.
I only use top-quality materials that you won't find in your local DIY store. To guarantee long-lasting repairs, I’ve sourced the best quality bonder and enamel paint. Having used the same materials for many years, I know they work and create lasting high-quality repairs every time. By using low-cost materials, some companies risk failed repairs and poor results. Every repair I do comes with a 12-month guarantee, unless stated otherwise.
The repair process starts with applying a special bonder to the damaged area and filling it in. After colour matching the new paint to your sink, I apply an additional 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.
The first step in any sink repair is assessing the damage to figure out the best solution. If there are just a few chips or scratches, then I can do a simple chip repair that only takes about 1-2 hours. In cases of more significant damage that spans a larger area, it’s best to resurface the entire sink. For a large crack or hole, I can repair it, but I might suggest replacing the sink due to potential structural issues. In this case, if I do the repair, I wouldn’t be able to offer a guarantee on it. However, this is a worst-case situation.
The average sink repair takes only 1-2 hours. Replacing your sink would take much longer than this repair. 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. My work includes resurfacing antique sinks to restore their beauty and make them 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.
My repairs are always done to the highest standard, ensuring longevity and that they remain inconspicuous 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.
Repairing your sink rather than replacing it will save you time, money, and is better for the environment. Repairing your sink helps cut down on waste and prevents more trash from going to the landfill.
I’ve had customers ask if DIY Repair Kits would work for their sink repairs. The problem is the DIY Repair Kits only come with poor quality materials, so the repair won’t last. It is also very hard to get a true colour match with the basic tinter they supply. 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 durable is a sink repair?
Each of my sink repairs is backed by a 12-month guarantee. A proper sink repair should last as long as the rest of the sink, and if one of our repairs fails, it will most likely happen 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. 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.
