It’s common for sinks to need repairs due to the daily wear and tear they experience. Things like dropping glass bottles, pots, and pans can easily chip or crack your sink. Harsh cleaners and soaps can erode the shiny surface of your sink, making it harder to clean and causing dirt to stick. With extensive experience in sink repairs, I can also resurface your sink for full restoration when required. All of my work is done in-situ, and a normal sink repair will only take about 1-2 hours! Once the repair is completed, your sink will be ready to use again in 24 hours, saving you time and money. Repairing and resurfacing is the most affordable way to restore your sink’s appearance without replacing it. I guarantee all my sink repairs for 12 months, and I’m fully insured for your peace of mind. 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. 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. Through years of experience, I’ve mastered this specialised skill in sink repairs. Even though most sinks are white, there is a huge variation in what shade of white your sink may be. Your sink’s exact shade of white depends on the manufacturer and factors like age, usage, and chemical or sunlight exposure. I have to be very careful to get an accurate colour match whenever I do repairs. When resurfacing your sink, I’ll apply a brilliant white coat to give it a brand-new appearance.
I only use top-quality materials that you won't find in your local DIY store. For lasting repairs, I always use premium bonder and enamel paint. Having used the same materials for many years, I know they work and create lasting high-quality repairs every time. Other companies may try to cut costs with cheaper materials, but that can lead to failed repairs and subpar results. I offer a 12-month guarantee on all my repairs, unless otherwise noted.
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 colour match the paint to your sink, then apply a second layer of bonder before spraying the enamel. Applying the new enamel with a fine spray gun guarantees that the repair blends in as smoothly as possible.
Whenever I find damage on a sink, I evaluate the extent of it to figure out the most effective repair method. If the damage is just a few chips or scratches, I can handle it with a simple chip repair that takes only 1-2 hours. In cases of more significant damage that spans a larger area, it’s best to resurface the entire sink. 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 rest assured, this is an unlikely worst-case scenario.
The majority of my sink repairs will only take about 1-2 hours. It’s far quicker than the process 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 you have a sink that needs saving, I can help you.
Every repair I do is completed to a high standard, ensuring it lasts and blends in with regular use. If you were to shine a torch over the surface, you might notice something, but this isn't something you'd typically do while using your sink. 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.
Having your sink repaired instead of replacing it will save you money, time, and is environmentally friendly. When you repair and restore your sink, you’ll avoid contributing more waste to your local landfill.
Some people wonder if they can use DIY Repair Kits to fix their sinks on their own. The problem with DIY Repair Kits is that the materials are of poor quality, leading to a repair that won't last. The basic tinter in DIY kits makes it challenging to get an accurate colour match. 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?
All of my sink repairs come with a 12-month guarantee. Your sink repair should last just as long as the sink itself, and any failure would occur 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. I often recommend replacing the sink when this happens, but if you wish to keep your original sink, we can still repair it.
