Sink repairs are frequently needed because of the constant use they face. Accidents like dropping glass bottles, pots, and pans can lead to chips and cracks on your sink. Using abrasive cleaners or soaps can dull your sink’s surface, making it more prone to dirt build-up. 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 repairs are completed on-site, and a standard sink repair takes just 1-2 hours. In just 24 hours, you can use your sink again, avoiding the hassle and cost of replacement. This is the most economical option for making your sink look new again without the expense of replacement. 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. 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. This is a very specialised skill that I have perfected after many years of application. 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. It’s important to get an accurate colour match, and I’m very meticulous in doing so. If you decide to resurface your entire sink, I will apply a brilliant white finish to restore its original look.
The materials I use are high-quality and not available in your typical DIY store. To guarantee long-lasting repairs, I’ve sourced the best quality bonder and enamel paint. I’ve trusted these materials for years, and they always produce long-lasting, high-quality results. By using low-cost materials, some companies risk failed repairs and poor results. 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 then colour match the new paint to your sink and apply another layer of bonder before spraying on the new enamel. Applying the new enamel with a fine spray gun guarantees that the repair blends in as smoothly as possible.
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. If the damage is extensive and affects a large portion of the sink, resurfacing the whole sink would be the most effective solution. In the case of a large crack or hole, I can still perform a repair, but I may advise replacing the sink due to possible structural damage. Should I choose to repair it, I won’t be able to offer a guarantee on the work. But this is the worst-case scenario.
The average sink repair takes only 1-2 hours. This is a lot quicker than having to remove and replace your sink. If you opt for a sink resurfacing, this will take me a full day to complete, due to the need to mask off the area for protection. 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. The detailing and features on antique sinks are often more beautiful than what you find on modern sinks. If your sink is in need of repair, I can help restore it.
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. A company that promises an invisible repair is likely not reputable, and they probably won’t be around 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. When you repair and restore your sink, you’ll avoid contributing more waste to your local landfill.
Some customers have asked about DIY Repair Kits and whether they can handle their repairs themselves. 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.
How durable is a sink repair?
My sink repairs are all guaranteed for 12 months. 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. The only time I can't offer a guarantee on a repair is if there is structural damage or extensive damage, and in this case, I'll make sure you know that I can't offer a guarantee before you go ahead 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.
