Expert Sink Repair& Resurfacing AcrossNewport, Cardiff & Bristol
Chipped, cracked, burned or stained sinks restored to a hygienic, hard-wearing finish — without the cost and disruption of replacement, plumbing alterations or worktop damage.
A specialist trade — done properly, the first time.
A damaged sink is rarely worth replacing on its own — the worktop usually has to be cut, the plumbing reworked, and the new sink may not fit the existing aperture. Sink resurfacing fixes the cosmetic and hygiene problems in place, in a single visit.
What it is
Repair of chips, cracks, burns and dropped-pan damage, followed by spray-applied refinishing in your chosen colour and finish. Suitable for ceramic, vitreous enamel, composite, cast iron and stainless steel sinks.
Who it's for
Homeowners with damaged kitchen, bathroom or utility sinks; landlords protecting deposit returns; commercial kitchens needing food-safe restoration; hotels keeping period suites consistent.
When it's needed
After impact damage, dropped pans, burn marks, deep staining, limescale etching, or simply a dated colour you want changed without ripping out the worktop.
Why a specialist matters
Sinks live a hard life — high heat, sharp utensils, harsh chemicals. Only specialist coatings and proper preparation will survive that environment. Off-the-shelf paint and DIY kits fail within months.
Small problems rarely stay small.
A damaged sink is more than cosmetic — it's a hygiene risk and an invitation for further damage every time it's used. The longer it's left, the more expensive the eventual fix becomes.
The risks of leaving it
- Bacteria build up in cracked and chipped surfaces — an issue for kitchens especially
- Stains set permanently into damaged surfaces, making the sink look filthy even when clean
- Cracks spread under thermal stress from hot water and pans
- Replacing the sink usually means cutting the worktop and reworking plumbing — a £600+ job
- Property valuations and rental appeal are reduced by visible kitchen damage
- Insurance disputes over delayed repair if damage spreads
Common mistakes we see
- Filling chips with kitchen sealant — it discolours and traps grime
- Using DIY enamel touch-up paints that yellow within months
- Replacing the whole sink when a 2-hour repair would do
- Cleaning with abrasive pads that worsen surface damage
- Ignoring small chips until they spread into long cracks
A clear, controlled, repeatable system.
Inspect
We assess the substrate, damage type and surrounding worktop to plan the right repair system.
Repair
Chips, cracks and burns are filled with two-part fillers and sanded perfectly flush.
Prepare
Surface is degreased, etched and keyed for maximum coating adhesion.
Refinish
Multiple coats of sink-grade polyurethane are sprayed for a hard, glossy, food-safe finish.
Cure & Hand Back
We protect surroundings, give care instructions.
Concrete benefits, not vague promises.
No worktop damage
Sink repair avoids cutting or replacing the worktop — saving £400–£1,000+.

Done in 2–4 hours
