Sink Reglazing questions, answered by experts

Routine cleaning with light detergents, avoiding abrasives, and timely addressing chips prolong the new surface appearance.

Expect your stainless steel sink to last between 20 and 30 years on average. When well cared for, you can use your sink much longer, particularly if you protect it from rust. A new stainless steel sink costs anywhere from $200 to $1,500 including installation, so it's in your best interest to take extra care to ensure its longevity.

To prevent damage to stainless steel sinks and appliances, avoid harsh or abrasive products. Cleaners containing oxidizing chemicals like bleach, chlorine, and ammonia can cause rust. Additionally, abrasive items such as steel wool, metal pads, hard-wired brushes, and abrasive sponges can permanently scratch the surface. For safe cleaning, DIY solutions like vinegar and baking soda are generally effective.

Using squeegees with microfiber cloths and precise techniques ensures spotless results.

While stainless steel is quite durable, it is susceptible to scratching. If you use rough, abrasive cleaning tools like steel wool or brushes, you may wind up with scuffs in your stainless steel sink. Additionally, harsh household chemicals including chloride bleach can damage your sink’s finish and decrease its life span.
