Sink Reglazing questions, answered by experts

The reglazed tub won’t last as long as a brand-new bathtub. Professional reglazing jobs can only last up to 15 years.

According to most pros, you can only reglaze a tub once or twice. So, if you’ve already reglazed your tub once, it might not be a realistic solution.

Some chemicals used in reglazing a bathtub can be dangerous to your health. If you’re DIYing the project, ensure the room is ventilated, and always wear a mask. If you hire a contractor, make sure you get the clearance to use the bathroom again.

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.

It is possible to resurface porcelain sinks—in fact, it’s a smart thing to do for aesthetic and functional reasons. If your porcelain sink has scratches, chips, or dings, resurfacing or recoating it can make it look new and prevent further damage. Depending on your budget, the sink's value, the extent of the damage, and your DIY abilities, you can resurface the sink yourself or hire someone to do it. You can buy DIY porcelain sink resurfacing products at home improvement stores, and sink resurfacing contractors offer reglazing and recoating for sinks, bathtubs, and other porcelain surfaces.

Removing hard water stains by using baking soda, lemon juice, vinegar, or some combination of all three will give you a nice, even surface to work with. Then, you can use olive oil to give your steel a nice shine, wiping away the remainder with a soft cloth. Glass cleaners and other commercial products may also help, but always be sure to spot-test before using new products on your sink—stainless steel can be finicky.

Porcelain and enamel sinks have very similar appearances, but they aren’t the same. Porcelain is a ceramic made from natural clay, while enamel is a strong powder that’s glazed over a metal sink. Use a magnet to determine whether you have an enamel or porcelain sink. If a strong magnet sticks to the sink, it’s likely enamel. If it doesn’t, you probably have a porcelain sink. You can also use the model number on the sink (often found on the underside of the bowl) or information from the manufacturer to determine the material.
