Sink Reglazing in Los Angeles

A worn, stained, or chipped sink drags down an entire kitchen or bathroom, and replacing it costs far more than the sink itself once plumbing, countertop cutting, and disposal enter the bill. Sink reglazing solves the same problem in place: JLF Tub & Tile Reglazing restores the smooth, glossy surface of your existing sink at your Los Angeles home, without demolition and without touching your plumbing. More than 580 customers have rated our refinishing work 4.9 out of 5 on Google.

What Sink Reglazing Is

Sink reglazing, also called sink refinishing or resurfacing, repairs the damage in your sink’s surface and then applies a new, durable coating bonded to the original material. The result looks and feels like a new fixture: chips filled, rust stains gone, the color renewed or completely changed. It is the same trade we practice on bathtubs and tile every day, applied to the smaller, harder working surface in your kitchen or bathroom.

Sinks We Reglaze

Kitchen sinks take the hardest daily use and are our most common sink job, especially cast iron sinks, where rust spots and worn enamel make a sink look decades older than it is. We also reglaze bathroom vanity sinks, pedestal sinks, porcelain and enameled steel basins, cultured marble vanity tops with integrated bowls, and utility sinks. If you are not sure what your sink is made of, send a photo with your quote request and we will identify it.

The 24-Hour Spa Shell Transformation Method

Every sink we reglaze goes through the same process we use on tubs: the 24-Hour Spa Shell Transformation Method. The transformation is completed inside a 24 hour work window, and the finish then cures for 48 hours after the final coat before the sink returns to regular use. What goes on your sink is a poured, durable coating, not thin spray paint, and the difference shows in the depth of the gloss and how the surface holds up to daily dishes, razors, and cleaning.

How the Process Works

First we inspect and repair: chips are filled, rust is treated at its source, and cracks are assessed honestly, because a sink with structural damage through the basin is a replacement job and we will say so. Next the surface is cleaned and etched so the new coating bonds permanently instead of sitting on top. Then the coating is applied in controlled coats, the hardware is protected, and the room is left clean. After the 48 hour cure, the sink is ready for normal use.

Reglaze or Replace?

Replacement makes sense when a basin is cracked through, when you are remodeling the whole counter, or when you want a different sink format entirely. For everything else, reglazing usually wins: it preserves your countertop, avoids plumbing work, skips disposal of a heavy fixture, and finishes in a day instead of a week of scheduling trades. Our cast iron customers in particular keep sinks that would cost a small fortune to replace in kind.

Damage We Fix

Chips around the drain and rim, rust stains and rust-through spots on cast iron, dull and etched surfaces from years of abrasive cleaners, permanent-looking stains in porcelain, scratches from pots and utensils, and dated colors that no longer match the room. If the damage on your sink is not listed here, ask; the answer is usually yes.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sink Reglazing

Can any sink be reglazed?

Most sinks can be reglazed: cast iron, porcelain, enameled steel, and cultured marble all take a new finish well. The honest exceptions are sinks with structural cracks that go through the basin and some heavily flexing stainless or plastic units. If your sink is a poor candidate, we tell you before any work is scheduled, not after.

How long does a reglazed sink last?

With normal household use and non-abrasive cleaners, a professionally reglazed sink typically serves for many years. The lifespan depends on preparation quality and daily habits more than anything else, which is why we repair chips and etch the surface properly before a single coat goes on.

Is reglazing better than replacing a sink?

Reglazing wins when the sink is structurally sound and the problem is cosmetic: stains, chips, rust spots, dullness, or a dated color. Replacement wins when the basin is cracked through or you are changing the layout. Reglazing keeps your existing plumbing untouched, which is where much of the replacement cost hides.

How long does sink reglazing take?

The transformation is completed inside a 24 hour work window under our 24-Hour Spa Shell Transformation Method, and the new finish then cures for 48 hours after the final coat before regular use. Most sink jobs take only a few hours of that window.

Do you reglaze both kitchen and bathroom sinks?

Yes. We reglaze kitchen sinks, bathroom vanity sinks, pedestal sinks, and utility sinks across Los Angeles, in houses, apartments, and rental units. Cast iron kitchen sinks are one of our most requested jobs.
