Sink repairs are frequently needed because of the constant use they face. Sinks often get chips and cracks from dropped items like glass bottles, pots, or pans. Harsh cleaning products gradually dull the surface of your sink, making it harder to maintain and clean. With years of experience repairing sinks, I also offer full sink restorations through resurfacing. 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. It’s the most economical way to get a brand-new looking sink again without having to actually replace it. All sink repairs come with a 12-month guarantee, and I’m fully insured. It won’t take long before your sink looks brand new again!
One of the most important parts of a great sink repair is to accurately colour match the new enamel paint to your existing sink. I carefully blend tinters into the white enamel paint by eye to achieve the exact shade of your sink. When the new paint isn’t a perfect match, the repair will be visible. This is a very specialised skill that I have perfected after many years of application. Most sinks are white, but there is actually a significant variation in their exact shade of white. Your sink’s exact shade of white depends on the manufacturer and factors like age, usage, and chemical or sunlight exposure. It’s important to get an accurate colour match, and I’m very meticulous in doing so. When resurfacing your sink, I’ll apply a brilliant white coat to give it a brand-new appearance.
I rely on professional-grade materials that are not found in your local 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.
The first step when I do a sink repair is to apply a special bonder to the damaged area and then fill in the damage. I colour match the paint to your sink, then apply a second layer of bonder before spraying the enamel. I use a fine spray gun to apply the new surface, which ensures the repair blends seamlessly.
When I come across sink damage, I first assess how severe it is so I can decide on the best repair method. 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 greater and covers a larger area of the sink, it would be best to resurface the whole sink. If there’s a large crack or hole in the sink, I can still repair it, but I may recommend replacing the sink instead, as it could be causing structural issues. Should I choose to repair it, I won’t be able to offer a guarantee on the work. This situation is the worst-case scenario.
The majority of my sink repairs will only take about 1-2 hours. This is much faster than the hassle of removing and replacing 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. Antique sinks often have intricate detailing and unique features that modern sinks lack. If you have a sink that needs saving, I can help you.
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.
Opting to repair your sink instead of replacing it saves time, money, and helps the environment. Repairing your sink means you won’t be adding unnecessary waste to the landfill.
I’ve been asked by customers if DIY Repair Kits are a good option for repairing their sinks. 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. 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?
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 there’s structural or extensive damage, I can’t offer a guarantee, but I will inform you of this before proceeding with the repair. 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.
