Due to regular use, sinks often require repairs, especially after damage. Glass bottles, pots, and pans are common culprits of chips and cracks on sink surfaces. Things like using harsh cleaners and soaps will slowly erode the shiny surface of your sink, making dirt stick to it and compromising its top layer. 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. Repairing and resurfacing your sink is the most economical way to restore it to like-new condition without replacing it. I guarantee all my sink repairs for 12 months, and I’m fully insured for your peace of mind. Your sink will look brand new in no time!
The most important part of a sink repair is accurately colour matching the new enamel paint to the shade of your sink. On the day of the repair, I mix different tinters into the standard white enamel paint by eye until it matches your sink’s shade exactly. If the new paint doesn't match your sink perfectly, you will notice the repair. I’ve perfected this skill after years of repairing sinks and colour matching. Although sinks are often white, the specific shade of white can vary considerably. Your sink’s exact shade of white depends on the manufacturer and factors like age, usage, and chemical or sunlight exposure. It’s important to get an accurate colour match, and I’m very meticulous in doing so. If you decide to resurface your entire sink, I will apply a brilliant white finish to restore its original look.
I rely on professional-grade materials that are not found 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. Some companies use cheaper materials to save money, but this can result in repairs that don’t last and poor outcomes. I always provide a 12-month guarantee with my repairs, unless specifically stated otherwise.
I begin a sink repair by applying a special bonder to the affected area and filling in the damage. I then colour match the new paint to your sink and apply another 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. In cases of minor chips or scratches, I can perform a quick chip repair that usually takes around 1-2 hours. When the damage is widespread, resurfacing the sink is typically the best choice. 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. If I proceed with the repair in this situation, I cannot provide a guarantee. This is the worst-case scenario, though it’s rare.
Most sink repairs I perform take around 1-2 hours. This is a lot quicker than having to remove and replace 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. Once again, resurfacing is far quicker and more cost-effective than removing and 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 your sink is in need of repair, I can help restore it.
Every repair I do is completed to a high standard, ensuring it lasts and blends in with regular use. If you shine a torch over the repair, you might spot something, but this is rarely done in regular use. A company that promises an invisible repair is likely not reputable, and they probably won’t be around for long.
Having your sink repaired instead of replacing it will save you money, time, and is environmentally friendly. By choosing to repair your sink, you’re helping reduce waste at your local landfill site.
I’ve had customers ask if DIY Repair Kits would work for their sink repairs. 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. 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?
My sink repairs are all guaranteed for 12 months. Repairs should last as long as the sink itself, and in the unlikely case that one fails, it will occur within the first 12 months. I can’t offer a guarantee if there’s structural or extensive damage, and I’ll let you know before starting the repair. When this occurs, I usually suggest replacing the sink, but if you want to preserve your original sink, I can still help with the repair.
