Why Choose Ceramic Sink Resurfacing?

Old ceramic sinks weigh a lot and removing them down walk-up stairwells is dangerous and expensive. New sinks are thin and cheap while old sinks are solid. And old sinks often have unique plumbing spacing that would require moving pipes inside the wall. Ceramic sink resurfacing is the safe, affordable, and stylish option.

Preservation

If you live in a historic building, that sink belongs there. We make it look new without losing the history.

No Demolition

Ripping out a cast-iron or heavy ceramic sink damages the wall and the floor tiles. We leave the room intact.

Seamless Finish

Our coating fills in the pores of the old ceramic, making it super easy to clean again.

Fast

We are done in a few hours. You can use the sink the next day.

Removing and replacing household fixtures takes weeks. With Advanced Reglazing, you keep the plumbing in place, avoid disturbing your neighbors, and have a usable bathroom again the next day.

It saves you stress

How We Do It

It is a delicate restoration process.

Contact
01

Protect The Room

We mask off the faucet, the floor, and the walls.

02

Deep Clean

We use acid-based cleaners to remove rust stains and hard water deposits.

03

Chip Repair

This is key. We fill in chips and deep scratches with a special filler. We sand it smooth so you can't feel the repair.

04

Bond & Resurface

We apply a bonding agent so the new glaze sticks to the old ceramic. Then we spray the high-gloss top coat. It looks like fresh porcelain.

FAQs

Can you fix a crack that goes all the way through?

If the sink is actually broken into pieces or leaking water through the ceramic, it might need replacement. But if it is just surface hairline cracks or "crazing," we can absolutely fix that.

How long does the finish last?

With proper care, the finish holds up for many years. Use mild soap, a soft sponge, and skip the abrasive scrubbers.

Can you change the color?

Yes. We can take a dated pink or blue sink and make it bright white. Or we can keep it white and just make it shiny again.

Is it safe for hot water?

Yes. The finish is heat resistant and designed for daily bathroom use.
