Sink Reglazing

The sink in the bathroom is not only an irreplaceable functional item but also a noticeable part of the bathroom interior. It occupies a central place in composition with a mirror, shelves, all kinds of stands, and toiletries, which means that it simply cannot have an unpresentable look. Basic hygiene procedures, self-care, and beauty rituals all take place in front of the mirror by the sink.

The sink is chosen for a specific interior, so it is not easy to replace a damaged or aged sink with a new one that matches the rest of the interior items in style, shade, and configuration. Most often, the surface of the sink suffers from damage and discoloration of the enamel.

With each day of use, these problems only get worse. You can solve them in two ways: replace the sink with a new one or try to restore the one that is installed.

Replacing the sink is not always an easy solution. It is often installed on a cabinet with specific dimensions and configurations. Due to the difficulties with the selection of a sink that is suitable in all aspects, it is necessary to change the cabinet and the rest of the furniture.

This is associated with considerable costs and may entail other costs. In this case, the restoration looks like a more rational way out.

The «New York Tubs» company specialists reglaze sinks using liquid acrylic. This method has been used for many years to restore the surfaces of bathtubs, shower trays, and sinks made of different materials.

Acrylic is suitable for coating cast iron and steel products, artificial stone, earthenware, polymers. It restores the whiteness and new shiny appearance of the product.

Most of the damages and external flaws that spoil the sink, and along with it, the interior of the bathroom, are easily removed using pour-on application method for the restoration.

The texture of the material is thick and dense, so it perfectly fills in and evens out all the depressions and flaws of the surface. Flowing and enveloping liquid acrylic follows the features of the sink’s relief, preserving its beauty.

The new coating is hygienic and perfect in its external characteristics. After reglazing the sink with acrylic, it becomes easier to care for it and it does not need to be cleaned with caustic chemicals but remains glossy and uniformly white.

  Artem did a phenomenal job on my tub! My tub was probably one of the worst he’s ever seen and had about 60 years of damage and terrible repairs. He went above and beyond with his work! We are renovating our terribly old bathroom and we came across some unrelated plumbing issues, and he generously offered to come back the next day to complete the job! I couldn’t recommend him enough, he was absolutely terrific!

  I've had a few bathtubs refinished, this is by far the best. The technician was a gentleman who arrived on time and worked in a professional manner. I would  recommend this company to my friends and would obviously hire them again.

  Artem was on time, courteous, and very clean. What impressed me most was his attention detail as far as craft and that the product did not smell of terrible chemicals.  The bathtub looks so good that I’m going to call him again for another tub in my building. A very trustworthy company.

  I was interested in this company because they use Armoglaze pour on finish rather than spray.
I clicked on "get a quote" on the website and got a call back in under an hour.
The price quoted was the same as as advertised, and I was able to schedule for the next day.
Artem arrived right on time, dove into the job and finished up in a little over 3 hours.
Beautiful result! No mess, no toxic fumes, no drama, no hassle.
Happy to recommend to anyone, I couldn't be happier with the outcome.

Before and After

Gallery (Before & After)

To refinish the sink efficiently, it is important to have the right preparation for all the nuances of which are known to the experienced craftsmen. We give priority attention to preliminary works, without which a good final result is impossible. It is necessary to check the mixer for leaks and remove them if they are found.

Otherwise, even a few drops of water can ruin the wet coating. Also, the siphon should be removed and all the surfaces adjacent to the sink should be carefully sealed, so that they are not damaged during the operation.

The sink is prepared for coating by pretreating with an abrasive material, which removes the old layer of enamel and creates a micro-relief that strengthens the adhesion of the material.

After cleaning, dust is washed out of the uniform, matte surface of the sink, which is then treated with antiseptic and degreasing solutions. After that, the absolutely dry and clean product can be covered with prepared composition.

Sinks are small in size and do not take long to restore. The next day, the surface is dry and ready for the siphon connection, fittings installation, and further use. Sink reglazing with liquid acrylic done by the technicians of the «New York Tubs» will quickly put in order any product in the bathroom.
