Best sink reglazing pros near Prentice, WI

There’s no difference between sink refinishing and sink reglazing costs. Both terms refer to the process of stripping the existing surface of a sink basin before applying a new refinishing substance to address discoloration, dullness, and wear and tear caused by age. The process is also referred to as resurfacing.

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.

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.
