Sinks often require repairs due to the heavy usage they undergo. 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. I’ve been repairing sinks for years and can provide full resurfacing for your sink when necessary. 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. Your sink will be restored to its original condition in no time!
For a flawless sink repair, it’s essential to match the new enamel paint to the existing sink colour. The colour matching is done by eye, mixing various tinters into the standard white enamel paint until it perfectly matches your sink. The repair will be obvious if the new paint doesn’t match your sink perfectly. I’ve refined this specialised skill over many years of experience. Although sinks are often white, the specific shade of white can vary considerably. 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. I pay close attention to get the perfect colour match whenever I perform 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 only use top-quality materials that you won't find 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. With years of experience using these materials, I know they provide consistent, durable, and high-quality repairs. By using low-cost materials, some companies risk failed repairs and poor results. I always provide a 12-month guarantee with my repairs, unless specifically 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. To ensure a flawless finish, I use a fine spray gun when applying the new surface, so the repair blends in perfectly.
Before I fix any damage on a sink, I always assess how serious the damage is to determine the right repair approach. If there are just a few chips or scratches, then I can do a simple chip repair that only takes about 1-2 hours. For larger damage that covers a bigger area, resurfacing the entire sink is usually the best option. If the sink has a large crack or hole, I can repair it, but it might be better to replace the sink if it's leading to structural concerns. If I proceed with the repair in this situation, I cannot provide a guarantee. This situation is the worst-case scenario.
Most of my sink repairs can be completed in just 1-2 hours. This is much faster than the hassle of removing and replacing 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. 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. These old antique sinks usually have beautiful detailing and features that you just don’t get on modern sinks. If your sink is in need of repair, I can help restore it.
I perform all my repairs to a very high standard, focusing on durability and making sure the repair isn’t noticeable during 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. 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.
By repairing your sink rather than replacing it, you'll save time, money, and reduce your environmental impact. You won’t be adding more waste to your local landfill site when you choose to repair and restore your sink.
Some customers have asked about DIY Repair Kits and whether they can handle their repairs themselves. DIY Repair Kits often include poor-quality materials that won’t provide a lasting repair. Getting a proper colour match is difficult with the basic tinter that comes with these kits. 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 long can I expect my sink repair to last?
I guarantee all my sink repairs 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. 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.
