Kitchen Sink Reglazing Is Possible!

If your kitchen sink is stained, chipped, or cracked, you might be looking into replacing the sink completely. After all, no one wants such a central part of the kitchen to look worn and dirty, and outdated colors can make the kitchen look old and tired. 

But you may have found that replacing the sink involves more hassle than you expected at first. Finding a sink to fit the footprint of the current sink can be a challenge in some custom kitchens or older houses, and taking out and replacing the sink might involve ripping up counters or other costly renovations. And it can be hard to give up your kitchen for the amount of time those renovations take.

But the good news? Kitchen sink reglazing is a cheaper, less time-consuming option  to repair stained, chipped, or cracked kitchen sinks. This option may not be as familiar as bathtub reglazing, but can be just as successful in repairing damage or discoloration. 

Reglazing or refinishing means that the existing finish of a porcelain sink is stripped and a new coating applied. The new coating has a smooth, shiny, professional finish, with no drips or brushstrokes.

This process can update outdated colors and give your kitchen a fresh look without the time, expense, and hassle involved in a larger renovation. Best of all, the process can be completed in a few hours, with only a few more hours for the coating to set, which means you don’t have to give up your kitchen for days on end. With a porcelain sink, crack repair might not seem possible—chips, cracks, and staining might make you think that replacing the sink is the only option. But you should know that repairing any damage is a central part of the reglazing process.

Any chips, cracks, pits, or damaged spots are repaired before the new coating is applied, so you get a smooth, even finish. Even farmhouse sinks with draining boards can be repaired and reglazed! It’s possible that you’ve been considering a DIY kit to reglaze your sink. This typically isn’t a great idea, especially if your sink has damage to it.

While a professional who is trained in how to repair damage can repair it easily, it’s harder for homeowners to do it properly. Professionals also have access to materials that homeowners don’t, including ventilation systems to keep the home safe and smelling clean. DIY kits also require brushes, which don’t give the same smooth finish as tools that professionals use. These kits can be a hassle and can take a long time to set.
