Sink repairs are frequently needed because of the constant use they face. Glass bottles, pots, and pans are common culprits of chips and cracks on sink surfaces. Harsh cleaners and soaps can erode the shiny surface of your sink, making it harder to clean and causing dirt to stick. I specialize in repairing sinks and can resurface the entire sink for a complete restoration. All repairs are completed on-site, and a standard sink repair takes just 1-2 hours. Your sink will be ready to use again in just 24 hours, saving both time and money compared to a full replacement. 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. It won’t take long before your sink looks brand new again!
One of the most important parts of a great sink repair is to accurately colour match the new enamel paint to your existing sink. This process must be done by eye on the day of your repair, mixing various tinters into the standard white enamel paint until I get an exact match to your sink. If the new paint doesn't match your sink perfectly, you will notice the repair. I’ve refined this specialised skill over many years of experience. 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. I pay close attention to get the perfect colour match whenever I perform repairs. If you decide to resurface your entire sink, I will apply a brilliant white finish to restore its original look.
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. By using low-cost materials, some companies risk failed repairs and poor results. All repairs come with a 12-month guarantee, unless otherwise stated.
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. Once I’ve matched the paint, I apply a second layer of bonder and then spray on the 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. When the damage is widespread, resurfacing the sink is typically the best choice. If there’s a large crack or hole in the sink, I can still repair it, but I may recommend replacing the sink instead, as it could be causing structural issues. Should I choose to repair it, I won’t be able to offer a guarantee on the work. This situation is the worst-case scenario.
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. 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. Again, this is still so much faster and cheaper than ripping out and replacing your sink. I have experience restoring antique sinks and resurfacing them to make them look brand new. Old antique sinks have beautiful details and features that are hard to find in modern models. If you need a sink restored or repaired, I’m here to help.
Every repair I do is completed to a high standard, ensuring it lasts and blends in 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. 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.
Repairing your sink rather than replacing it will save you time, money, and is better for the environment. Repairing your sink helps cut down on waste and prevents more trash from going to the landfill.
I’ve had some customers ask me about DIY Repair Kits and if they could just do their repairs themselves. The problem with DIY Repair Kits is that the materials are of poor quality, leading to a repair that won't last. Getting a proper colour match is difficult with the basic tinter that comes with 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 durable is a sink repair?
Every sink repair I do is covered 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. 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.
