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. Using abrasive cleaners or soaps can dull your sink’s surface, making it more prone to dirt build-up. 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 do all my repairs on-site, and a typical sink repair only takes 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. I guarantee all my sink repairs for 12 months, and I’m fully insured for your peace of mind. It won’t take long before your sink looks brand new again!
A key element of a top-quality sink repair is ensuring the new enamel paint matches your existing sink perfectly. I carefully blend tinters into the white enamel paint by eye to achieve the exact shade of your sink. If the paint doesn’t match your sink exactly, you’ll be able to see 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. Getting the exact colour match is crucial, so I’m very careful when doing repairs. When resurfacing your sink, I’ll apply a brilliant white coat to give it a brand-new appearance.
I always use professional-grade materials that aren't available at your local DIY store. The bonder and enamel paint I use are the best quality, ensuring that all repairs are durable and long-lasting. 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 stand by my work with a 12-month guarantee on all repairs, unless specified otherwise.
I begin a sink repair by applying a special bonder to the affected area and filling in the damage. Next, I colour match the new paint to your sink and apply another layer of bonder before spraying on the enamel. Using a fine spray gun to apply the new surface ensures the repair will blend in as seamlessly as possible.
Whenever I find damage on a sink, I evaluate the extent of it to figure out the most effective repair method. In cases of minor chips or scratches, I can perform a quick chip repair that usually takes around 1-2 hours. If the damage is extensive and affects a large portion of the sink, resurfacing the whole sink would be the most effective solution. 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, if I do the repair, I wouldn’t be able to offer a guarantee on it. However, this is a worst-case situation.
Most of my sink repairs can be completed in just 1-2 hours. This is much faster than removing your sink and replacing it. 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. This is still a much quicker and more affordable option than completely 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 have a sink that needs saving, I can help you.
I ensure all my repairs are completed to the highest standard, focusing on durability and making sure they aren’t visible with normal use. You might be able to spot something with a torch, but that’s not something you’d typically do when using your sink normally. A company that promises an invisible repair is likely not reputable, and they probably won’t be around for long.
Choosing to repair your sink instead of replacing it will save both money and time, and it’s a more environmentally friendly option. By choosing to repair your sink, you’re helping reduce waste at your local landfill site.
Some people wonder if they can use DIY Repair Kits to fix their sinks on their own. The issue with DIY Repair Kits is that they include low-quality materials, which means the repair won’t last. It’s hard to achieve a true colour match with the basic tinter that’s supplied in these kits. If you’re confident, you can certainly give it a try, but I’ll be here to do a professional repair whenever you need one.
What’s the expected lifespan of a sink repair?
My sink repairs are all guaranteed for 12 months. Your sink repair should last just as long as the sink itself, and any failure would occur 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. Typically, I recommend replacing the sink in such cases, but if you’d like to keep the original sink, we can still repair it.
