Sink repairs are frequently needed because of the constant use they face. Glass bottles, pots, and pans are common culprits of chips and cracks on sink surfaces. Harsh cleaning products gradually dull the surface of your sink, making it harder to maintain and clean. With extensive experience in sink repairs, I can also resurface your sink for full restoration when required. I perform all repairs at your location, and most sink repairs are completed within 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. This is the most economical option for making your sink look new again without the expense of replacement. All sink repairs come with a 12-month guarantee, and I’m fully insured. Your sink will look brand new in no time!
For a flawless sink repair, it’s essential to match the new enamel paint to the existing sink colour. On the day of the repair, I mix different tinters into the standard white enamel paint by eye until it matches your sink’s shade exactly. If the new paint doesn't match your sink perfectly, you will notice the repair. 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. 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.
All my repairs are done with professional-grade materials that are not available at standard DIY stores. I’ve sourced the best quality bonder and enamel paint to ensure all my repairs last. Having used the same materials for many years, I know they work and create lasting high-quality repairs every time. Unlike other companies that use cheaper materials, I only use top-quality products to ensure repairs won’t fail. 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. The use of a fine spray gun helps the new surface blend into the existing sink, creating a seamless repair.
The first step in any sink repair is assessing the damage to figure out the best solution. For minor chips or scratches, I can complete a quick chip repair in just 1-2 hours. When the damage is widespread, resurfacing the sink is typically the best choice. 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. 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. Even so, this is still much faster and more affordable than replacing your sink. My work includes resurfacing antique sinks to restore their beauty and make them look like new. The detailing and features on antique sinks are often more beautiful than what you find 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. 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. Any reputable repair company will not guarantee an invisible repair, so be cautious of those who do as they likely won’t last 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 some customers ask me about DIY Repair Kits and if they could just do their repairs themselves. DIY Repair Kits use low-quality materials, so the repair is unlikely to last long. Another problem is that the basic tinter included makes it difficult to achieve a true colour match. If you want to try it yourself, that’s fine, but I’ll be here for a professional repair when you ask.
How long can I expect my sink repair to last?
My sink repairs are all guaranteed for 12 months. 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. In cases of structural or extensive damage, I can’t provide a guarantee, but I’ll make sure to let you know before proceeding. 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.
