The cost of plumbing has gone way up, but as I'm physically unable to get under my sink and deal with pipes, it was money well spent. No more gross garbage disposal unit, no more leaking from the garbage disposal unit, and all new pipes in less then an hour and half.

Sink Reglazing questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Sink discoloration from water is caused by any of a number of different kinds of minerals in hard water, including iron and manganese. To avoid the staining that hard water can cause, install a water softener to remove minerals from the water as it enters your home. Rusty pipes can also cause discoloration, and may be the culprit if only one sink is stained.

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

It is worth it to refinish a porcelain sink. The refinishing process involves stripping away the old finish, repairing any damage, and applying a new finish. While it is a bit of a process, it is usually much cheaper than replacing the sink. Refinishing can restore the sink’s beauty for another 10 to 15 years. The process can also fill in small hairline cracks that could otherwise cause structural damage.
