Why reglaze
Chips and rust don't mean a new vanity.
Replacing a sink usually drags the faucet, the countertop and sometimes the whole cabinet along with it. Reglazing fixes the bowl where it sits.
Sinks take the most abuse in the house. Dropped bottles chip the porcelain, a dripping faucet leaves a rust trail to the drain, and the cultured-marble vanity tops in so many Lake Forest condos craze and yellow over time.
We refinish it in place in a few hours. Rust is neutralized, chips are filled flush, and a new glossy coating goes over the bowl, or over the whole integrated top. Pedestal, drop-in, undermount and enamel kitchen sinks all qualify.

How it works
Our sink reglazing process
The same careful prep on every job. That is what makes the finish last.
- 01
Assess the sink
We check for structural cracks and confirm reglazing is the right fix. If a sink is beyond saving we will say so.
- 02
Remove and clean
Drain hardware and old caulk come out. The basin is degreased, mineral deposits dissolved and the surface etched for adhesion.
- 03
Repair chips and rust
Rust is neutralized and chips are filled and sanded flush so they vanish under the finish.
- 04
Spray the new finish
A bonding primer and several coats of high-gloss topcoat are applied for a smooth, even surface.
- 05
Cure and reinstall
After the cure period we reinstall the drain, re-caulk and go over care for your new sink.

FAQ
Sink Reglazing questions from Lake Forest homeowners
Straight answers from 10+ years of reglazing in the Saddleback Valley. Not covered here? Call (949) 516-0179.
Can a kitchen sink be reglazed?
Yes, enamel-coated cast-iron and steel kitchen sinks reglaze well. Because kitchen sinks see hot cookware, heavy pots and far more daily use than a bathroom sink, the finish will not last as long as a tub, and the warranty on kitchen sinks is 6 months rather than 2 years.
How long does sink reglazing take?
Most bathroom sinks are finished in 2 to 3 hours. An integrated cultured-marble vanity top takes a little longer. Allow 24 hours of cure time before use.
Will the reglazed surface match my refinished tub?
Yes. We use the same coatings and colors on tubs, sinks, showers and tile, so a sink done alongside a tub or surround will match exactly.
Can you reglaze the sink without removing it?
Yes. The sink stays in place. We remove the drain hardware and faucet trim as needed, mask everything around it and refinish it where it sits.
What about the counter around a drop-in sink?
For drop-in sinks we refinish the bowl and rim. For cultured-marble tops with the bowl molded in, we refinish the entire top, including the backsplash, so the result is seamless.
Why is the kitchen sink warranty shorter?
A kitchen sink is the hardest-working surface in the house. Scalding water, cast-iron pans and dropped dishes wear any coating faster. Six months is an honest warranty for that environment; many customers get years of service, but we will not promise what the sink may not deliver.
