Sinks often require repairs due to the heavy usage they undergo. 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. With years of experience repairing sinks, I also offer full sink restorations through resurfacing. 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 cost-effective way to make your sink look brand new without the need for replacement. My repairs come with a 12-month warranty, and I’m fully insured. 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. This process requires mixing tinters into white enamel paint by eye until an exact match to your sink’s colour is achieved. 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. Most sinks are white, but there is actually a significant variation in their exact shade of white. Your sink’s exact shade of white depends on the manufacturer and factors like age, usage, and chemical or sunlight exposure. 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 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. With years of experience using these materials, I know they provide consistent, durable, and high-quality repairs. Other companies may try to cut costs with cheaper materials, but that can lead to failed repairs and subpar results. All repairs come with a 12-month guarantee, unless otherwise stated.
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 encounter damage on a sink, I have to make sure I know how bad the damage is so I can determine the best way to fix it. 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 greater and covers a larger area of the sink, it would be best to resurface the whole sink. 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. In this case, any repair I do will not come with a guarantee. But this is the worst-case scenario.
Most sink repairs I perform take around 1-2 hours. This is much faster than the hassle of removing and replacing 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. This process is still much quicker and cheaper compared to ripping out and replacing your sink. I’ve successfully restored many antique sinks, resurfacing them to look like new. Old antique sinks have beautiful details and features that are hard to find in modern models. If you need a sink restored or repaired, I’m here to help.
My repairs are always done to the highest standard, ensuring longevity and that they remain inconspicuous with regular use. If you shine a torch over the repair, you might spot something, but this is rarely done in regular use. 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.
Opting to repair your sink instead of replacing it saves time, money, and helps the environment. By choosing to repair your sink, you’re helping reduce waste at your local landfill site.
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. 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.
What’s the expected lifespan of a sink repair?
Every sink repair I do is covered by a 12-month guarantee. 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. 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. When this happens, I usually recommend replacing the sink, but if you want to keep your original sink, we can still help you repair it.
