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’ve been repairing sinks for years and can provide full resurfacing for your sink when necessary. All of my work is done in-situ, and a normal sink repair will only take about 1-2 hours! In just 24 hours, you can use your sink again, avoiding the hassle and cost of replacement. 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. Your sink will be looking brand new again in no time!
A key element of a top-quality sink repair is ensuring the new enamel paint matches your existing sink perfectly. The colour matching is done by eye, mixing various tinters into the standard white enamel paint until it perfectly matches your sink. A mismatch in the paint will make the repair noticeable. I’ve refined this specialised skill over many years of experience. Even though white is the most common sink colour, the shade of white can vary widely. Your sink’s exact shade of white depends on the manufacturer and factors like age, usage, and chemical or sunlight exposure. Ensuring an accurate colour match is essential, and I take great care when performing sink repairs. When resurfacing your sink, I’ll apply a brilliant white coat to give it a brand-new appearance.
I always use professional-grade materials that aren't available at 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 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.
I begin a sink repair by applying a special bonder to the affected area and filling in the damage. I colour match the paint to your sink, then apply a second layer of bonder before spraying the enamel. Using a fine spray gun to apply the new surface ensures the repair will blend in as seamlessly as possible.
The first step in any sink repair is assessing the damage to figure out the best solution. In cases of minor chips or scratches, I can perform a quick chip repair that usually takes around 1-2 hours. For larger damage that covers a bigger area, resurfacing the entire sink is usually the best option. 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 situation is the worst-case scenario.
Typically, my sink repairs take only 1-2 hours to complete. It’s far quicker than the process of removing and replacing your sink. 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. I’ve successfully restored many antique sinks, resurfacing them to look like new. Antique sinks typically feature intricate detailing that is not found on most modern sinks. If you have a sink that needs attention, I’m here to provide help.
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. If you were to get out a torch and shine it over the surface, you may be able to see something, but this is not very common when using your sink normally. Reputable repair companies don’t promise invisible repairs, so be wary of companies that do as they likely won’t be in business for long.
Choosing to repair your sink instead of replacing it will save both money and time, and it’s a more environmentally friendly option. By choosing to repair your sink, you’re helping reduce waste at your local landfill site.
I’ve had customers ask if DIY Repair Kits would work for their sink repairs. DIY Repair Kits often include poor-quality materials that won’t provide a lasting repair. It is also very hard to get a true colour match with the basic tinter they supply. Feel free to try it yourself if you feel up to it, but I’ll be here for a professional repair when you’re ready.
How long can I expect my sink repair to last?
Each of my sink repairs is backed by a 12-month guarantee. 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 the sink has structural or significant damage, I can’t guarantee the repair, but I’ll inform you before we proceed. When this occurs, I usually suggest replacing the sink, but if you want to preserve your original sink, I can still help with the repair.
