How much does sink reglazing cost in Sunnyvale (94086)?
In Sunnyvale, sink reglazing runs $420–$495 — the most affordable fixture we refinish. The final price depends on whether it's a bathroom or kitchen sink, the material, and how much chip or rust repair it needs.
How soon can I use it after sink reglazing?
A reglazed sink is ready for normal use 24–48 hours after the final coat cures. It is dry to the touch within a few hours, and for a kitchen sink we coordinate timing so you aren't without running water longer than needed.
Can a stained or chipped sink be restored?

By way of comparison, HomeGuide's 2026 figures put professional sink refinishing at about $250–$600 nationwide; our Sunnyvale sink work runs $420–$495, and reglazing a built-in or vintage basin you can't easily match beats sourcing and swapping the whole unit.
Done right, the first time
How we reglaze a Sunnyvale sink, step by step
- Mask and ventilate. We tape off the counter, faucet, backsplash and cabinet, set up containment so overspray stays at the sink, and pull the old caulk and any removable hardware.
- Deep-clean. Soap film, mineral scale and grease come off first — a sink sees more daily residue than its size suggests, and coating only bonds to a clean surface.
- Repair and treat rust. Chips get filled and sanded flat; rust around the drain and overflow is treated and neutralized before anything goes over it. This is the step a patch job skips.
- Etch or scuff-sand. Porcelain and enamel get an acid/silane etch; cultured marble and synthetic bowls get scuff-sanded so the primer grips.
- Prime. A bonding primer goes on as the tie-coat between the original sink and the new finish.
- Spray the topcoat. Thin coats of acrylic-urethane are sprayed in a controlled pattern, working the bowl, drain area and rim evenly so there's no buildup or runs.
- Cure and re-caulk. The finish cures 24–48 hours; we lay fresh silicone at the rim, hand over the care sheet and warranty, and the sink is back in service.
Right method for your sink
Which method suits your sink?
A small fixture still needs the right prep. The reason a reglazed sink holds for years rather than flaking around the drain comes down to matching the method to the material — here is how we route each one.
| Sink material | Recommended method | Typical result |
|---|---|---|
| Porcelain over cast iron | Rust treatment + acid/silane etch + primer + topcoat | Factory-smooth, 10–15 yr |
| Porcelain over steel | Etch + primer + topcoat | Smooth, chip-resistant edges |
| Vintage / pedestal porcelain | Repair + etch + primer + topcoat | Keeps the original fixture |
| Cultured marble vanity bowl | Repair + primer + topcoat | Removes etching and yellowing |
The sinks we reglaze across Sunnyvale
Sinks are the fixture people overlook until the chip catches a sponge or the rust around the drain won't scrub away. In Sunnyvale we see two main types. The bungalows and ranch homes of the Heritage District, Cherry Chase, Washington Park and the Murphy Avenue blocks hold heavy porcelain-over-cast-iron sinks — pedestal and wall-hung bathroom basins, plus deep enameled kitchen sinks — that are decades old and worth keeping. The 1980s and 1990s condos across Ponderosa, Lakewood, Birdland and Sunnyvale West tend to run cultured-marble vanity tops with the bowl molded right in, which yellow and etch with age. Both reglaze well, and both cover all four Sunnyvale ZIPs: 94085, 94086, 94087 and 94089.
The cast-iron sinks are the ones reglazing really earns its keep on. A vintage cast-iron kitchen sink is built into the counter and weighs a fortune; replacing it means cutting the countertop, finding a matching fixture that often no longer exists, and a plumber to reconnect it. Reglazing skips all of that — we treat the rust, fill the chips, and spray a fresh white finish in place, and the sink you couldn't replace looks new for another decade. The same logic carries the cultured-marble vanities in the condos: the bowl is part of the top, so refinishing the surface beats replacing the whole counter.

A Sunnyvale sink, before & after
Chips, rust and the repairs that come first
The two things that send people looking for sink reglazing are chips and rust, and each has a real fix. A chip — usually from a dropped jar or a heavy pan — exposes the dark cast iron or steel under the white glaze, and it spreads if water keeps reaching the bare metal. We fill the chip with a repair compound, sand it dead flat with the surrounding bowl, then the new finish carries across so the spot disappears. Rust is the slower problem: it creeps out from the drain and overflow where the original glaze wore thin. A quick coat over active rust just bubbles and fails, so we treat and neutralize the rust first, fill any pitting, and only then prime and spray. That extra step is the whole reason a reglaze lasts.
On the day, a sink is a quick, contained job. We mask the counter, faucet and cabinet, run ventilation, and keep overspray at the sink — the rest of the kitchen or bathroom stays clean. There's a chemical smell during the spray that clears with the ventilation we set up. A kitchen sink means a short stretch without that basin, so we coordinate timing and re-caulk before we leave. After the 24–48 hour cure, treat it like a glossy painted surface: a non-abrasive cleaner, a sink mat under heavy cookware in the kitchen, and no scouring powder. Follow that and a Sunnyvale sink reglaze holds its shine for 10–15 years.
Because sinks are small, combining them is the smart move. We routinely reglaze a kitchen sink, a bathroom sink and a tub in the same visit, which drops the per-fixture cost and folds the whole bathroom-and-kitchen refresh into one day. If you're already booking a bathtub reglazing or a countertop refinish, adding the sink is the easy call.

What Sunnyvale customers say
★★★★★Our 1940s pedestal sink in Cherry Chase had a chip and rust at the drain. They repaired both and reglazed it white — you can't tell where the chip was. Kept the sink we couldn't replace.
— Eleanor V., Cherry Chase
★★★★★Old cast-iron kitchen sink in our Washington Park house was stained and chipped. They did it the same morning they did the tub. Both look new and the price for doing them together was fair.
— Roberto S., Washington Park
★★★★★The cultured-marble vanity sink in our Birdland condo had yellowed badly. They refinished it to a clean white and it's held up to daily use. Quick, tidy, and no mess left behind.
— Jenna L., Birdland
Good questions
Sink reglazing FAQ
What is the difference between reglazing, refinishing and resurfacing a sink?
They mean the same thing — restoring the bowl's surface with a freshly bonded coating instead of replacing the sink. There's no liner; the new finish is sprayed directly onto the original porcelain, cast iron or cultured marble.
Can you reglaze a rusty cast-iron sink?
Yes. We treat and neutralize the rust spots first — usually around the drain and overflow — fill any pitting, then etch and refinish the sink. Skipping the rust treatment is why a quick patch job fails, so it's the step we never cut.
Can you refinish a vintage or pedestal sink?
Yes. Vintage porcelain pedestal and wall-hung sinks in older Sunnyvale bungalows reglaze beautifully, and refinishing keeps the original fixture you can't easily replace. We can re-coat the bowl in its original white or shift it to a clean neutral.
Do you reglaze the kitchen sink and the bathroom sink in one visit?
Yes, and combining fixtures is the efficient way to do it. We often reglaze a kitchen sink, a bathroom sink and a tub in the same visit, which keeps your per-fixture cost down and the disruption to a single day.
How do I care for a reglazed sink?
Treat it like a glossy painted surface. Use a non-abrasive cleaner, skip scouring powders, and set a sink mat under heavy cookware in a kitchen bowl. That keeps the acrylic-urethane finish looking new for 10–15 years.
Do you offer a warranty on sink reglazing?
Yes. Every sink reglaze carries a written 5-year warranty, handed to you when we finish. It covers the bond and finish under normal household use.
Are you licensed and insured?
Sunnyvale Bathtub Resurfacing is fully licensed and insured. We carry liability coverage on every visit, so the work is protected from the moment we mask the counter to the moment we finish.
Why do DIY sink touch-up kits fail?
DIY kits skip rust treatment, professional etching and spray equipment, so the patch sits on a slick or rusted surface and flakes around the drain. They usually last a year or two, while a sprayed professional finish lasts 10–15 years.
