The kitchen sink fell out at my Mom's house and we obviously needed attention to it right away. NAG plumbing was able to fit us into their schedule and Nick was done fixing it in an hour or so. We're super grateful to him. Nick's a good guy. We're putting him on speed dial for any future...

Sink Reglazing questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Don’t let the following items sit in your sink, or you’ll end up with a stain:

Tea bags
Wet cloths
Sponges
Hair dye

While it takes a pro about three to six hours to refinish a porcelain sink, the entire process may take up to three days when you factor in the time it takes for multiple coats of epoxy paint to dry. Ask your pro how long the project should take.

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.
