Sinks often require repairs due to the heavy usage they undergo. Sinks often get chips and cracks from dropped items like glass bottles, pots, or pans. 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’ve been repairing sinks for years and can provide full resurfacing for your sink when necessary. All of my work is done in-situ, and a normal sink repair will only take about 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 economical option for making your sink look new again without the expense of replacement. I guarantee all my sink repairs for 12 months, and I’m fully insured for your peace of mind. Your sink will be restored to its original condition 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 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. Although sinks are often white, the specific shade of white can vary considerably. Different brands use different shades of white, and factors like age, usage, and exposure to chemicals or sunlight can all change the shade. I pay close attention to get the perfect colour match whenever I perform repairs. When resurfacing your sink, I’ll apply a brilliant white coat to give it a brand-new appearance.
I only use top-quality materials that you won't find in your local DIY store. For lasting repairs, I always use premium bonder and enamel paint. Since I’ve been using the same materials for years, I can trust that they create lasting, high-quality repairs every time. Other companies may try to cut costs with cheaper materials, but that can lead to failed repairs and subpar results. I stand by my work with a 12-month guarantee on all repairs, unless specified otherwise.
The initial step in my sink repair process is to apply a unique bonder to the damaged area and then fill the damage. Next, I colour match the new paint to your sink and apply another layer of bonder before spraying on the enamel. To ensure a flawless finish, I use a fine spray gun when applying the new surface, so the repair blends in perfectly.
The first step in any sink repair is assessing the damage to figure out the best solution. For minor chips or scratches, I can complete a quick chip repair in just 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 repair it in this situation, I can’t offer a guarantee. However, this is a worst-case situation.
Typically, my sink repairs take only 1-2 hours to complete. This is much faster than removing your sink and replacing it. 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. Once again, resurfacing is far quicker and more cost-effective than removing and replacing your sink. I have experience restoring antique sinks and resurfacing them to make them look brand new. Old antique sinks have beautiful details and features that are hard to find in modern models. If you have a sink that needs attention, I’m here to provide help.
I ensure all my repairs are completed to the highest standard, focusing on durability and making sure they aren’t visible with normal use. You might be able to spot something with a torch, but that’s not something you’d typically do when using your sink normally. Be cautious of any repair companies that promise an invisible repair, as no reputable business would make such a guarantee.
Choosing to repair your sink instead of replacing it will save both money and time, and it’s a more environmentally friendly option. By choosing to repair your sink, you’re helping reduce waste at your local landfill site.
Some people wonder if they can use DIY Repair Kits to fix their sinks on their own. DIY Repair Kits use low-quality materials, so the repair is unlikely to last long. It’s hard to achieve a true colour match with the basic tinter that’s supplied in these kits. If you’re confident, you can certainly give it a try, but I’ll be here to do a professional repair whenever you need one.
What’s the expected lifespan of a sink repair?
Every sink repair I do is covered by a 12-month guarantee. 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. If there’s structural or extensive damage, I can’t offer a guarantee, but I will inform you of this before proceeding with the repair. I often recommend replacing the sink when this happens, but if you wish to keep your original sink, we can still repair it.
