Is your kitchen sink looking dull, scratched, or stained? Before you spend hundreds (or even thousands) on a full replacement, consider sink reglazing—a cost-effective and eco-friendly way to restore its original shine.

Why Reglaze Instead of Replacing?

Replacing a sink involves:

  • High costs (new sink + labor + plumbing adjustments)
  • Long installation time (disconnecting pipes, removing old sink)
  • Kitchen downtime (no sink access for hours/days)

Sink reglazing offers:

  • Affordability (up to 70% cheaper than replacement)
  • Fast turnaround (completed in just a few hours)
  • Eco-friendly solution (no old sink in landfills)
  • Custom colors (modernize your kitchen’s look)

How Does Sink Reglazing Work?

Deep Cleaning & Prep

Remove grease, stains, and mineral deposits

Fill chips/cracks and sand for adhesion

Primer Application

Special bonding agent ensures long-lasting results

High-Quality Coating

Multiple layers of durable, glossy finish

Resistant to stains, scratches, and heat

Curing

Ready for use in 24-48 hours

“Our 20-year-old sink looked brand new after reglazing—saved us $800!” – Sarah K., Brooklyn

DIY vs. Professional Reglazing

While DIY kits exist, professionals provide:

  • Longer-lasting results (DIY coatings often peel)
  • Better durability (withstands daily wear)
  • Smoother finish (no brush marks)

How Long Does It Last?

With proper care, a reglazed sink lasts 8-15 years.

Tips to extend lifespan:

  • Use mild cleaners (no abrasives)
  • Avoid dropping heavy objects
  • Apply protective wax annually
