Sink repairs are frequently needed because of the constant use they face. Glass bottles, pots, and pans are common culprits of chips and cracks on sink surfaces. 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. I handle all repairs in your home, and a regular sink repair will take just 1-2 hours. Once the repair is completed, your sink will be ready to use again in 24 hours, saving you time and money. This is the most economical option for making your sink look new again without the expense of replacement. All sink repairs come with a 12-month guarantee, and I’m fully insured. Your sink will be restored to its original condition 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. 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. When the new paint isn’t a perfect match, the repair will be visible. This highly specialised skill has been developed over years of hands-on work. Although sinks are often white, the specific shade of white can vary considerably. 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. 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. I use only the highest quality bonder and enamel paint to ensure all repairs stand the test of time. 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.
The repair process starts with applying a special bonder to the damaged area and filling it in. I colour match the paint to your sink, then apply a second layer of bonder before spraying the enamel. The use of a fine spray gun helps the new surface blend into the existing sink, creating a seamless repair.
Whenever I find damage on a sink, I evaluate the extent of it to figure out the most effective repair method. When dealing with a few chips or scratches, I can fix them quickly with a chip repair that takes about 1-2 hours. For larger damage that covers a bigger area, resurfacing the entire sink is usually the best option. If the sink has a large crack or hole, I can repair it, but it might be better to replace the sink if it's leading to structural concerns. If I repair it in this situation, I can’t offer a guarantee. This is the worst-case scenario, though it’s rare.
Typically, my sink repairs take only 1-2 hours to complete. Replacing your sink would take much longer than this repair. Resurfacing a sink takes a day because I need to carefully mask off the room to avoid overspray. Again, this is still so much faster and cheaper than ripping out and replacing your sink. Restoring antique sinks by resurfacing them is something I do regularly, bringing them back to their original beauty. The detailing and features on antique sinks are often more beautiful than what you find on modern sinks. I’m here to assist if your sink needs saving.
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.
Repairing your sink rather than replacing it will save you time, money, and is better for the environment. When you repair and restore your sink, you’ll avoid contributing more waste to your local landfill.
I’ve been asked by customers if DIY Repair Kits are a good option for repairing their sinks. The issue with DIY Repair Kits is that they include low-quality materials, which means the repair won’t last. The basic tinter in DIY kits makes it challenging to get an accurate colour match. 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.
What’s the expected lifespan of a sink repair?
I guarantee all my sink repairs for 12 months. 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. I can’t offer a guarantee if there’s structural or extensive damage, and I’ll let you know before starting the repair. 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.
