Refinishing & Repairs
Sink & Vanity Refinishing
Bathroom and kitchen sinks refinished to match — a fast, affordable way to update a fixture without replacing the counter.
Bathroom and kitchen sinks — plus the vanity tops they sit in — refinished to match, without replacing the counter. A worn or dated sink is often the one thing holding an otherwise fine bathroom or kitchen back, and swapping just the sink rarely goes cleanly when a new one has to line up with an old cutout.
We resurface porcelain, cast iron, and cultured marble sinks and vanity tops alike, matching color and finish so the refinished piece looks original to the room — no plumber, no countertop fabricator, and no days spent without a working sink.
- Porcelain, cast iron & cultured marble
- Matches existing vanity finish
- No counter replacement needed
- Fast, affordable turnaround
Why Refinish
Skip the Counter Replacement
A stained, chipped, or dated sink is often the one thing holding back an otherwise fine bathroom or kitchen — but replacing it usually means replacing the counter too, since matching an old vanity top or countertop cutout to a new sink rarely goes cleanly. Refinishing sidesteps the whole problem: we resurface the sink, and the vanity top around it if needed, in place, matched to the color and finish you already have.
It's a fast job compared to a counter swap — most sinks are finished in a single visit, with no plumber, no countertop fabricator, and no days spent without a working sink.
Save 60–80%
Refinishing costs a fraction of replacing a sink and vanity top together, with no countertop fabrication or plumbing work required.
Done in a Day
Most sinks are refinished start to finish in a single visit, with the faucet and drain reinstalled the same day.
No Counter Replacement
We match the existing vanity top or counter finish, so there's no need to replace anything around the sink.
Built to Last
A properly refinished sink holds up to years of daily use — every job is backed by a written warranty.
Before & After

A stained or dated sink doesn't need to be replaced. Drag the slider to see the kind of transformation a professional refinish can deliver — same sink, same counter, same plumbing, just a completely different finish.

Our Process
How We Refinish a Sink or Vanity Top
Every sink we refinish goes through the same careful process, whether it's a standalone porcelain sink or an integrated cultured marble sink-and-counter unit.
Protect & Prep the Space
We mask off the surrounding counter, cabinetry, walls, and floor with plastic sheeting and tape so overspray and dust stay contained to the sink itself.
Remove Faucet & Drain Hardware
The faucet, drain, and pop-up assembly are carefully disconnected and set aside so the whole surface can be coated edge to edge.
Repair Chips, Cracks & Wear
Chips and cracks — especially around the drain and rim — are filled and repaired before any coating goes on, and given time to fully cure.
Strip, Etch & Sand
The existing surface is stripped of soap scum and old coating, then chemically etched and hand-sanded to create a profile the new coating can bond to.
Prime & Spray the Coating
We spray a bonding primer followed by multiple coats of a high-gloss finish, color matched to your existing vanity or counter.
Cure, Reinstall & Walkthrough
Once the final coat is on, the faucet and drain hardware are reinstalled. We walk the finished sink with you and confirm exactly when it's safe to use.
What We Refinish
Every Sink & Vanity Material, Handled Right
Sinks and vanity tops come in a handful of materials, and each one needs a slightly different prep and coating approach to hold up long-term.
Porcelain Sinks
Classic drop-in and undermount porcelain sinks, prone to chipping and yellowing over time. These respond exceptionally well to refinishing.
Cast Iron Sinks
Heavy, durable sinks that dull and chip with age — a classic candidate for a refinish that brings back the original shine.
Cultured Marble Sinks & Vanity Tops
Integrated sink-and-counter units prone to cracking and gel-coat failure, repaired and refinished as one seamless piece.
Vessel & Drop-In Sinks
Refinished in place regardless of how the sink is mounted, with careful masking around the counter cutout.
Vanity Countertops
The counter surrounding the sink refinished right along with it, so there's no visible seam between old and new.
Kitchen Sinks
Porcelain and cast iron kitchen sinks refinished with the same process and durability as bathroom sinks.
Color Matching
Matching Your Existing Vanity, Not Replacing It
The reason sink refinishing works so well is that it solves the actual problem — a worn, stained, or outdated surface — without touching everything around it. Before we spray anything, we take the guesswork out of matching your existing vanity top, countertop, or surround, so the refinished sink looks like it was never anything but original to the room.
That matters most when a sink and counter are one integrated piece, like a cultured marble vanity top, or when a bathroom's tile and fixtures were chosen around a specific white. Custom color matching means you're not stuck compromising the rest of the room's palette just because one basin is outdated.
It also works the other direction — if you're ready for a change, we can refinish a sink to a brand new color as part of a bathroom refresh, without waiting on new countertop fabrication.
Care & Maintenance
Keeping a Refinished Sink Looking New
A refinished sink is durable, but a little care in the first few weeks makes a big difference over the long run.
- Wait before use. Give the coating its full cure window — usually 24 to 48 hours — before running water in the sink.
- Skip abrasive cleaners. Scouring powders, steel wool, and harsh abrasive pads will dull a refinished surface over time. Stick to non-abrasive liquid cleaners and a soft cloth or sponge.
- Rinse away hair dye, toothpaste & harsh chemicals promptly. Left sitting, these can stain or dull the finish over time.
- Use a soft tray under bottles & accessories. A rubber tray or basket keeps bottles and containers from scratching the surface directly.
- Avoid dropping heavy or sharp objects. The coating resists everyday wear well, but a dropped bottle or razor can still chip it, just like it could a factory finish.

FAQ
Sink & Vanity Refinishing Questions
Yes. Custom color matching is standard on every sink and vanity job, so the refinished piece blends in with the surrounding counter, tile, and fixtures instead of standing out.
No. Refinishing works with the counter you already have — including integrated cultured marble sink-and-counter units. We match the existing finish rather than requiring a new countertop.
Most sinks are completed in a single visit, typically a few hours of hands-on work. Sinks with more extensive chip or crack repair can take a bit longer to allow repairs to cure first.
Yes. Chips, cracks, and worn spots around the drain or rim are repaired and cured before any coating goes on — that's what keeps a refinish from failing early.
Yes, temporarily. We remove the faucet, drain, and pop-up hardware so the entire surface can be coated edge to edge, then reinstall everything once the coating has flashed off.
We recommend waiting 24 to 48 hours before running water in a freshly refinished sink, depending on the coating and conditions on the day of the job. We'll give you an exact timeline before we leave.
Yes. Porcelain and cast iron kitchen sinks are refinished with the same process as bathroom sinks, including chip and crack repair before recoating.
