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. The use of strong cleaners and soaps can damage your sink’s finish, causing dirt to adhere and wear down its surface. With extensive experience in sink repairs, I can also resurface your sink for full restoration when required. All repairs are completed on-site, and a standard sink repair takes just 1-2 hours. Your sink will be ready to use within 24 hours after repair, saving you time and avoiding replacement costs. It’s the most economical way to get a brand-new looking sink again without having to actually replace it. My repairs come with a 12-month warranty, and I’m fully insured. It won’t take long before your sink looks brand new again!
A crucial part of a successful sink repair is matching the new enamel paint to the exact colour of your existing sink. This process requires mixing tinters into white enamel paint by eye until an exact match to your sink’s colour is achieved. A mismatch in the paint will make the repair noticeable. This highly specialised skill has been developed over years of hands-on work. Most sinks are white, but there is actually a significant variation in their exact shade of white. Manufacturers use varying shades of white, and the sink’s age, usage, and exposure to chemicals or sunlight will affect its shade. It’s important to get an accurate colour match, and I’m very meticulous in doing so. Should you decide to resurface your sink, I will apply a fresh, brilliant white coating to restore it to like-new condition.
I only use top-quality materials that you won't find in your local DIY store. The bonder and enamel paint I use are the best quality, ensuring that all repairs are durable and long-lasting. I’ve relied on these materials for years, and they consistently create durable, top-quality repairs. Other companies may try to cut costs with cheaper materials, but that can lead to failed repairs and subpar results. I always provide a 12-month guarantee with my repairs, unless specifically stated otherwise.
The repair process starts with applying a special bonder to the damaged area and filling it in. Next, I colour match the new paint to your sink and apply another layer of bonder before spraying on the enamel. Applying the new enamel with a fine spray gun guarantees that the repair blends in as smoothly as possible.
When I come across sink damage, I first assess how severe it is so I can decide on the best repair method. In cases of minor chips or scratches, I can perform a quick chip repair that usually takes around 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. But this is the worst-case scenario.
Most sink repairs I perform take around 1-2 hours. It’s far quicker than the process of removing and replacing your sink. 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. Again, this is still so much faster and cheaper than ripping out and replacing your sink. I’ve successfully restored many antique sinks, resurfacing them to look like new. Antique sinks typically feature intricate detailing that is not found on most modern sinks. If your sink is in need of repair, I can help restore it.
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 shine a torch over the repair, you might spot something, but this is rarely done in regular use. Reputable repair companies don’t promise invisible repairs, so be wary of companies that do as they likely won’t be in business 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. When you repair and restore your sink, you’ll avoid contributing more waste to your local landfill.
I’ve had some customers ask me about DIY Repair Kits and if they could just do their repairs themselves. 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. 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. 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. I often recommend replacing the sink when this happens, but if you wish to keep your original sink, we can still repair it.
