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. Harsh cleaners and soaps can erode the shiny surface of your sink, making it harder to clean and causing dirt to stick. 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! You’ll be able to use your sink again 24 hours later, saving you time and money on having it replaced. It’s the most economical way to get a brand-new looking sink again without having to actually replace it. My repairs come with a 12-month warranty, and I’m fully insured. Your sink will be as good as new in no time!
The most important part of a sink repair is accurately colour matching the new enamel paint to the shade of your sink. I carefully blend tinters into the white enamel paint by eye to achieve the exact shade of your sink. A mismatch in the paint will make the repair noticeable. Through years of experience, I’ve mastered this specialised skill in sink repairs. While sinks are generally white, the exact shade of white can differ greatly. Different manufacturers use different shades, and factors like the age of the sink, how much usage it’s had, and if it has been discoloured by chemicals or sunlight can all affect the final colour. 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.
I rely on professional-grade materials that are not found in your local DIY store. The bonder and enamel paint I use are the best quality, ensuring that all repairs are durable and long-lasting. I’ve trusted these materials for years, and they always produce long-lasting, high-quality results. Unlike other companies that use cheaper materials, I only use top-quality products to ensure repairs won’t fail. I offer a 12-month guarantee on all my repairs, unless otherwise noted.
The initial step in my sink repair process is to apply a unique bonder to the damaged area and then fill the damage. Next, I colour match the new paint to your sink and apply another layer of bonder before spraying on the enamel. Applying the new enamel with a fine spray gun guarantees that the repair blends in as smoothly as possible.
Before I fix any damage on a sink, I always assess how serious the damage is to determine the right repair approach. When dealing with a few chips or scratches, I can fix them quickly with a chip repair that takes about 1-2 hours. In cases of more significant damage that spans a larger area, it’s best to resurface the entire 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. If I proceed with the repair in this situation, I cannot provide a guarantee. This is the worst-case scenario, though it’s rare.
Most sink repairs I perform take around 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 is still a much quicker and more affordable option than completely replacing your sink. I have experience restoring antique sinks and resurfacing them to make them look brand new. These old antique sinks usually have beautiful detailing and features that you just don’t get on modern sinks. If you have a sink that needs saving, I can help you.
All of my repairs are done to a very high standard, and this is defined by creating a repair that will last and is not noticeable with 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. 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. The issue with DIY Repair Kits is that they include low-quality materials, which means 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.
What’s the expected lifespan of 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. 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.
