Just last week, we completed a challenging repair on a composite granite sink in a Victorian conversion near Anstey Park. The homeowner had been quoted £1,850 for a complete kitchen sink replacement after discovering multiple chips along the drainer grooves and a 15cm crack near the waste outlet - damage caused by accidentally dropping a heavy Le Creuset casserole dish.
Our technician arrived within 48 hours and spent three hours meticulously rebuilding the damaged areas. Using colour-matched composite filler specifically formulated for granite-effect sinks, each chip was carefully filled and shaped to match the original contours. The crack required specialist bonding techniques, reinforced from underneath to ensure lasting strength.
Final cost: £325 including all materials and our 12-month warranty - saving the customer over £1,500 compared to replacement. The repair is completely invisible, and the sink looks better than it has in years. As a bonus, we also restored the slightly dulled surface to its original lustre at no extra charge.
Every sink repair in Alton begins with our comprehensive assessment process. We examine not just the visible damage but test the entire sink structure to identify any hidden weaknesses. This thorough approach, developed over 30 years, ensures we address all issues in one visit.
Proper preparation is crucial for lasting repairs. We thoroughly clean and degrease the damaged area, removing any loose material or contamination. For ceramic and porcelain sinks common in older Alton properties, we carefully sand the edges to create the perfect bonding surface.
Using professional-grade compounds matched to your sink's exact colour and texture, we rebuild damaged areas layer by layer. Each application is precisely shaped and cured before the next, ensuring structural integrity. This meticulous process takes time but guarantees invisible, lasting repairs.
Once reconstruction is complete, we polish and seal the repair to match the surrounding surface perfectly. For complete resurfacing jobs, we apply specialist topcoats that resist staining, scratching, and thermal shock better than original finishes. Every repair is covered by our 12-month warranty for your peace of mind.
The entire process typically takes 2-4 hours depending on damage extent, and your sink can be used gently after 24 hours. Full cure occurs within 72 hours, after which the repair is as strong as the original material.
