Sink repairs are very common due to the hard usage that sinks have to endure. Sinks often get chips and cracks from dropped items like glass bottles, pots, or pans. Harsh cleaning products gradually dull the surface of your sink, making it harder to maintain and clean. 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. Once the repair is completed, your sink will be ready to use again in 24 hours, saving you time and money. 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. Your sink will look brand new in no time!
A crucial part of a successful sink repair is matching the new enamel paint to the exact colour of your existing sink. The colour matching is done by eye, mixing various tinters into the standard white enamel paint until it perfectly matches 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. Even though white is the most common sink colour, the shade of white can vary widely. Different brands use different shades of white, and factors like age, usage, and exposure to chemicals or sunlight can all change the shade. I have to be very careful to get an accurate colour match whenever I do repairs. 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. 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. Some other companies cut corners by using cheaper materials, but this could lead to repairs failing and poor results. I stand by my work with a 12-month guarantee on all repairs, unless specified 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. After colour matching the new paint to your sink, I apply an additional layer of bonder before spraying on the new enamel. The use of a fine spray gun helps the new surface blend into the existing sink, creating a seamless repair.
Before I fix any damage on a sink, I always assess how serious the damage is to determine the right repair approach. 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. 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 repair it in this situation, I can’t offer a guarantee. But rest assured, this is an unlikely worst-case scenario.
Typically, my sink repairs take only 1-2 hours to complete. It’s far quicker than the process of removing and replacing your sink. Should you choose to resurface your sink, it will take about a day, as I must carefully mask off the surrounding room to prevent overspray. Again, this is still so much faster and cheaper than ripping out and replacing your sink. My work includes resurfacing antique sinks to restore their beauty and make them look like new. Antique sinks typically feature intricate detailing that is not found on most modern sinks. If you have a sink that needs saving, I can help you.
My repairs are always done to the highest standard, ensuring longevity and that they remain inconspicuous 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. 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. You won’t be adding more waste to your local landfill site when you choose to repair and restore your sink.
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. It is also very hard to get a true colour match with the basic tinter they supply. You can absolutely give it a try if you feel confident, but I’ll be here to do a professional repair when you ask me.
How long will a sink repair last?
Every sink repair I do is covered by a 12-month guarantee. Sink repairs should last for as long as the rest of the sink itself, and in the unlikely event that one of our repairs fails, it will do so 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.
