Sink repairs are very common due to the hard usage that sinks have to endure. Accidental drops of glass bottles, pots, pans, etc, can all cause chips and cracks to the surface of your sink. Things like using harsh cleaners and soaps will slowly erode the shiny surface of your sink, making dirt stick to it and compromising its top layer. With years of experience repairing sinks, I also offer full sink restorations through resurfacing. I perform all repairs at your location, and most sink repairs are completed within 1-2 hours. Your sink will be ready to use within 24 hours after repair, saving you time and avoiding replacement costs. This is the most cost-effective way to make your sink look brand new without the need for 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!
One of the most important parts of a great sink repair is to accurately colour match the new enamel paint to your existing sink. I carefully blend tinters into the white enamel paint by eye to achieve the exact shade of your sink. 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. Although sinks are often white, the specific shade of white can vary considerably. The shade of white your sink has depends on the manufacturer, its age, usage, and factors like sun damage or chemical discoloration. It’s important to get an accurate colour match, and I’m very meticulous in doing so. If you choose to have your whole sink resurfaced, I will spray it with a new brilliant white so it looks brand new again.
I always use professional-grade materials that aren't available at your local DIY store. To guarantee long-lasting repairs, I’ve sourced the best quality bonder and enamel paint. With years of experience using these materials, I know they provide consistent, durable, and high-quality repairs. Some companies use cheaper materials to save money, but this can result in repairs that don’t last and poor outcomes. I always provide a 12-month guarantee with my repairs, unless specifically stated 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 colour match the paint to your sink, then apply a second layer of bonder before spraying the enamel. To ensure a flawless finish, I use a fine spray gun when applying the new surface, so the repair blends in perfectly.
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. For a large crack or hole, I can repair it, but I might suggest replacing the sink due to potential structural issues. In this case, any repair I do will not come with a guarantee. This is the worst-case scenario, though it’s rare.
Most of my sink repairs can be completed in just 1-2 hours. It’s far quicker than the process of removing and replacing your sink. Resurfacing a sink takes a day because I need to carefully mask off the room to avoid overspray. Once again, resurfacing is far quicker and more cost-effective than removing and replacing your sink. Restoring antique sinks by resurfacing them is something I do regularly, bringing them back to their original beauty. The detailing and features on antique sinks are often more beautiful than what you find on modern sinks. I’m here to assist if your sink needs saving.
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. If you were to get out a torch and shine it over the surface, you may be able to see something, but this is not very common when using your sink normally. No reputable repair company will promise you an invisible repair, so be wary of any companies that do, because they probably 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. Repairing your sink means you won’t be adding unnecessary waste to the landfill.
I’ve been asked by customers if DIY Repair Kits are a good option for repairing their sinks. 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 durable is a sink repair?
Each of my sink repairs is backed by a 12-month guarantee. Repairs should last as long as the sink itself, and in the unlikely case that one fails, it will occur within the first 12 months. If there’s structural or extensive damage, I can’t offer a guarantee, but I will inform you of this before proceeding 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.
