Due to regular use, sinks often require repairs, especially after damage. Sinks often get chips and cracks from dropped items like glass bottles, pots, or pans. The use of strong cleaners and soaps can damage your sink’s finish, causing dirt to adhere and wear down its surface. 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. I perform all repairs at your location, and most sink repairs are completed within 1-2 hours. You’ll be able to use your sink again 24 hours later, saving you time and money on having it replaced. 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 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. This process requires mixing tinters into white enamel paint by eye until an exact match to your sink’s colour is achieved. When the new paint isn’t a perfect match, the repair will be visible. Through years of experience, I’ve mastered this specialised skill in sink repairs. Although sinks are often white, the specific shade of white can vary considerably. Manufacturers use varying shades of white, and the sink’s age, usage, and exposure to chemicals or sunlight will affect its shade. Getting the exact colour match is crucial, so I’m very careful when doing repairs. If you decide to resurface your entire sink, I will apply a brilliant white finish to restore its original look.
All my repairs are done with professional-grade materials that are not available at standard DIY stores. For lasting repairs, I always use premium bonder and enamel paint. I’ve relied on these materials for years, and they consistently create durable, top-quality repairs. Some companies use cheaper materials to save money, but this can result in repairs that don’t last and poor outcomes. 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 then colour match the new paint to your sink and apply another 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.
Whenever I encounter damage on a sink, I have to make sure I know how bad the damage is so I can determine the best way to fix it. In cases of minor chips or scratches, I can perform a quick chip repair that usually takes around 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 major crack or hole, I can still fix it, though I may recommend replacing the sink if it’s causing structural problems. If I proceed with the repair in this situation, I cannot provide a guarantee. This is the worst-case scenario, though it’s rare.
The average sink repair takes only 1-2 hours. Replacing your sink would take much longer than this repair. If you want to have your sink resurfaced, then this will take me a day to do, as I need to spend a lot of time masking off the rest of the room to protect it from 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. 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.
My repairs are always done to the highest standard, ensuring longevity and that they remain inconspicuous with regular use. 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.
By repairing your sink rather than replacing it, you'll save time, money, and reduce your environmental impact. When you repair and restore your sink, you’ll avoid contributing more waste to your local landfill.
I’ve had customers ask if DIY Repair Kits would work for their sink repairs. DIY Repair Kits use low-quality materials, so the repair is unlikely to last long. It’s hard to achieve a true colour match with the basic tinter that’s supplied in these kits. 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 will a sink repair last?
Each of my sink repairs is backed by a 12-month guarantee. 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. If the sink has structural or significant damage, I can’t guarantee the repair, but I’ll inform you before we proceed. Typically, I recommend replacing the sink in such cases, but if you’d like to keep the original sink, we can still repair it.
