Sink repairs are very common due to the hard usage that sinks have to endure. Accidents like dropping glass bottles, pots, and pans can lead to chips and cracks on your sink. Using abrasive cleaners or soaps can dull your sink’s surface, making it more prone to dirt build-up. 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. You’ll be able to use your sink again 24 hours later, saving you time and money on having it replaced. This is the most cost-effective way to make your sink look brand new without the need for replacement. All sink repairs come with a 12-month guarantee, and I’m fully insured. 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. 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 paint doesn’t match your sink exactly, you’ll be able to see the repair. I’ve perfected this skill after years of repairing sinks and colour matching. Even though white is the most common sink colour, the shade of white can vary widely. Manufacturers use varying shades of white, and the sink’s age, usage, and exposure to chemicals or sunlight will affect its shade. I have to be very careful to get an accurate colour match whenever I do 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. For lasting repairs, I always use premium bonder and enamel paint. I’ve relied on these materials for years, and they consistently create durable, top-quality repairs. Some other companies cut corners by using cheaper materials, but this could lead to repairs failing and poor results. I offer a 12-month guarantee on all my repairs, unless otherwise noted.
I begin a sink repair by applying a special bonder to the affected area and filling 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. Applying the new enamel with a fine spray gun guarantees that the repair blends in as smoothly as possible.
Before I fix any damage on a sink, I always assess how serious the damage is to determine the right repair approach. If there are just a few chips or scratches, then I can do a simple chip repair that only takes about 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. 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. If I proceed with the repair in this situation, I cannot provide a guarantee. However, this is a worst-case situation.
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. Resurfacing a sink takes a day because I need to carefully mask off the room to avoid overspray. This is still a much quicker and more affordable option than completely 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. I’m here to assist if your sink needs saving.
I perform all my repairs to a very high standard, focusing on durability and making sure the repair isn’t noticeable during normal usage. You might be able to spot something with a torch, but that’s not something you’d typically do when using your sink normally. 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. Repairing your sink helps cut down on waste and prevents more trash from going to the landfill.
Some customers have asked about DIY Repair Kits and whether they can handle their repairs themselves. The problem is the DIY Repair Kits only come with poor quality materials, so the repair won’t last. Another problem is that the basic tinter included makes it difficult to achieve a true colour match. 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 durable is a sink repair?
All of my sink repairs come with 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. In cases of structural or extensive damage, I can’t provide a guarantee, but I’ll make sure to let you know before proceeding. 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.
