Sink Reglazing

The bathroom sink is not only an essential functional element but also a prominent part of the bathroom’s design. Positioned alongside mirrors, shelves, and toiletries, the sink plays a central role in the bathroom’s composition. It is the spot where daily hygiene, grooming, and self-care routines are performed, making its appearance vital to the room’s overall aesthetic.

The sink is often chosen to fit a specific interior design, making it challenging to replace a damaged or outdated sink with a new one that matches the style, color, and configuration of the existing elements. Most commonly, the surface of the sink suffers from scratches, chips, or discoloration over time.

These issues tend to worsen with daily use, leaving two options: replace the sink entirely or restore the one you already have.

Replacing the sink is not always a simple solution. Many sinks are integrated into cabinets with specific dimensions and configurations. Finding a replacement that fits perfectly can be difficult and might require replacing the cabinet and other furniture as well.

This can lead to significant expenses and additional complications. In such cases, restoration becomes a more practical and cost-effective option.

At New York Tubs, our specialists reglaze sinks using liquid acrylic. This method has been successfully used for years to restore bathtubs, shower trays, and sinks made of various materials.

Liquid acrylic is suitable for cast iron, steel, artificial stone, ceramics, and polymers. It restores the sink’s original whiteness and glossy finish, making it look brand new.

Most visible damage and surface imperfections that detract from the sink’s appearance, and the overall look of the bathroom, can be corrected with the pour-on acrylic restoration method.

The dense, thick texture of liquid acrylic ensures it fills and smooths out scratches, chips, and other imperfections. As the acrylic flows and adheres to the sink’s surface, it maintains the sink’s original contours and enhances its appearance.

The new coating is not only visually appealing but also hygienic and easy to maintain. After reglazing, the sink requires minimal cleaning and stays glossy without the need for harsh chemicals.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is sink reglazing?

Refinishing a sink to make it seem brand-new is known as sink reglazing. This normally entails stripping off the old finish, cleaning, and fixing the sink.

What types of sinks can be reglazed?

Choice Ceramic, fiberglass, porcelain, and acrylic sinks may all have their glazes replaced.

What material is used?

The liquid acrylic material we use is ArmoGlaze, which is safe for you, your children, and the environment, with near zero VOC status. It solidifies and is ready to use in 24 hours. The material and process are odorless and non-toxic during application and after.

This technology has been used since 2011 with outstanding result.

How long does the reglazing process take?

Time The entire process of preparing and reglazing the sink is quick and convenient, normally taking around 3 hours.

The time required for complete drying and hardening of the material is about 24 hours. During the work and subsequent hardening time, there is no smell. Since there is no demolition or extensive renovation, there is much less mess and disruption to your daily routine. Our experienced, professional technicians take the utmost care to leave the work area clean and neat when they finish.

How long does the reglazed sink last?

Service The professionally reglazed finish should last for 5 to 10 years with proper maintenance. It’s essential to follow the manufacturer’s required maintenance instructions in order to extend the lifespan of the finish.

Our pour-on method lasts several times longer than spray-on techniques and resists peeling.

Can I reglaze a sink myself?

Tools Bathtub reglazing requires specific tools and expertise as well as a considerable amount of time, effort and attention to detail. For that reason, it’s generally not a DIY project.

To guarantee that the job is done right and to prevent damage to your sink, it’s advisable to hire a professional refinisher. Our proven pour-on application system performed by experienced technicians assures you will be satisfied with the high-quality outcome.

To achieve high-quality results, proper preparation is crucial. Experienced technicians at New York Tubs focus on all the essential steps. For example, checking for faucet leaks and resolving them is necessary to prevent water drops from ruining the wet coating.

The siphon must also be removed, and the areas surrounding the sink carefully sealed to protect them during the process. Surface preparation involves abrasive treatment to remove the old enamel layer and create a microtexture for better adhesion.

Afterward, the sink is cleaned, dusted, and treated with degreasing and antiseptic solutions. Only after these steps is the sink ready for the application of liquid acrylic.

Sinks are relatively small, making restoration quick and efficient. By the next day, the sink is dry, allowing for the siphon and fittings to be reinstalled. With professional acrylic reglazing from New York Tubs, any sink can be restored to like-new condition, enhancing the entire bathroom’s look.
