Sink repairs are very common due to the hard usage that sinks have to endure. 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. 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. You’ll be able to use your sink again 24 hours later, saving you time and money on having it replaced. 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. 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. The colour matching is done by eye, mixing various tinters into the standard white enamel paint until it perfectly matches 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. While sinks are generally white, the exact shade of white can differ greatly. Your sink’s exact shade of white depends on the manufacturer and factors like age, usage, and chemical or sunlight exposure. Ensuring an accurate colour match is essential, and I take great care when performing sink repairs. If you decide to resurface your entire sink, I will apply a brilliant white finish to restore its original look.
All my repairs are done with professional-grade materials that are not available at standard DIY stores. I use only the highest quality bonder and enamel paint to ensure all repairs stand the test of time. I’ve trusted these materials for years, and they always produce long-lasting, high-quality results. By using low-cost materials, some companies risk failed repairs and poor results. I always provide a 12-month guarantee with my repairs, unless specifically stated otherwise.
The initial step in my sink repair process is to apply a unique bonder to the damaged area and then fill 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.
Whenever I find damage on a sink, I evaluate the extent of it to figure out the most effective repair method. If there are just a few chips or scratches, then I can do a simple chip repair that only takes about 1-2 hours. For larger damage that covers a bigger area, resurfacing the entire sink is usually the best option. 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. However, this is a worst-case situation.
The average sink repair takes only 1-2 hours. This is a lot quicker than having to remove and replace your sink. Resurfacing your sink will take a full day, as I spend time masking the room to protect from any overspray. This is still a much quicker and more affordable option than completely replacing your sink. Restoring antique sinks by resurfacing them is something I do regularly, bringing them back to their original beauty. Antique sinks typically feature intricate detailing that is not found on most modern sinks. If you need a sink restored or repaired, I’m here to help.
I perform all my repairs to a very high standard, focusing on durability and making sure the repair isn’t noticeable during normal usage. 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. Be cautious of any repair companies that promise an invisible repair, as no reputable business would make such a guarantee.
Having your sink repaired instead of replacing it will save you money, time, and is environmentally friendly. 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. The problem is the DIY Repair Kits only come with poor quality materials, so the repair won’t last. Getting a proper colour match is difficult with the basic tinter that comes with these kits. If you want to try it yourself, that’s fine, but I’ll be here for a professional repair when you ask.
What’s the expected lifespan of a sink repair?
I guarantee all my sink repairs 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. In cases of structural or extensive damage, I can’t provide a guarantee, but I’ll make sure to let you know before proceeding. When this happens, I usually recommend replacing the sink, but if you want to keep your original sink, we can still help you repair it.
