Question 1

What is sink refinishing (or sink reglazing)?

Accepted Answer

Sink refinishing — also called reglazing or resurfacing — restores your existing sink by bonding a new, factory-smooth coating over the old surface. We clean and de-gloss the sink, repair chips and cracks, apply a bonding primer, then spray multiple coats of a durable finish and a sealant. The result looks and feels like a brand-new sink, without tearing out plumbing or the countertop.

Question 2

How much does sink refinishing cost in New Jersey?

Accepted Answer

Every sink is different, so we give a free, no-obligation estimate. As a rule of thumb, refinishing a sink is a small fraction of the cost of buying and installing a new one — and it avoids the plumbing, countertop, and disposal costs that come with replacement. Text a photo of your sink to (732) 595-2608 and we'll price it fast.

Question 3

What kinds of sinks can you refinish?

Accepted Answer

We refinish porcelain and enameled cast-iron sinks, ceramic sinks, cultured-marble vanity tops, fiberglass and acrylic sinks, and most kitchen and bathroom basins. If you're not sure what your sink is made of, send us a photo and we'll tell you whether refinishing is a good fit.

Question 4

How long does the job take, and when can I use the sink again?

Accepted Answer

Most sinks are completed in about 2–5 hours in a single visit. We recommend letting the finish cure before heavy use — in most cases you can use the sink again the next day. We'll give you exact timing for your specific job.

Question 5

How long does a refinished sink last?

Accepted Answer

With proper care, a professionally refinished sink can look great for many years. Longevity depends on daily use and cleaning habits — avoiding abrasive scrubs, harsh chemicals, and leaving standing water or drips helps the finish last much longer. We provide simple care instructions after every job.

Question 6

Can you change the color of my sink?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Refinishing is a great time to update the color. We can take a dated almond, pink, blue, or bone sink to a clean modern white — or custom-match a color to your bathroom or kitchen. Ask about custom colors when we visit.

Question 7

Do you fix chips, cracks, and rust before refinishing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Surface prep is where quality refinishing is won or lost. We repair chips and cracks and address surface rust at the drain and overflow before coating. Note that severe structural rust or damage may limit results — we'll always give you an honest assessment first.

Question 8

Is a refinished sink covered by a warranty?

Accepted Answer

Our written multi-year warranty applies to bathtub refinishing. Because sinks face constant water, drips, and abrasive cleaners, sink refinishing is not covered under that written tub warranty — but we stand behind our workmanship, and we'll walk you through realistic expectations and care so your new finish lasts as long as possible.

Question 9

Do you refinish kitchen and bathroom vanity tops too?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We refinish cultured-marble vanity tops, integrated sink-and-counter units, and countertops — often at the same visit as the sink for a fully refreshed vanity. Bundling the sink, top, and surrounding tile is a popular, cost-effective makeover.
