A chipped or stained kitchen sink drags down the look of an otherwise beautiful kitchen. Fortunately, you do not have to rip out plumbing or buy an expensive new fixture to refresh the space. Reglazing—also called refinishing or resurfacing—can restore porcelain, cast iron, and even some stainless-steel basins at a fraction of full-replacement price. In this guide, CountBricks breaks down current reglaze kitchen sink cost trends, explains the factors driving pricing, and shows how our AI estimation platform produces instant, reliable numbers for residential contractors and homeowners alike.
During reglazing, a trained technician cleans, sands, and etches the original surface, then sprays on durable bonding and topcoats. The process seals hairline cracks, covers stains, and leaves a glossy, like-new finish. When executed correctly, a reglazed sink can last 8–15 years with normal household use.
Because CountBricks connects to real-time material and labor databases, our current national averages fall into these ranges:
• Single-bowl porcelain sink: $225 – $350
• Double-bowl porcelain sink: $300 – $450
• Cast-iron farmhouse sink: $375 – $600
• Stainless sink with epoxy topcoat: $275 – $425
Prices include on-site prep, masking adjacent counters, standard ventilation, coatings, and a 3-year workmanship warranty. Regional labor rates and project complexity will push your final estimate higher or lower, and CountBricks captures those variables automatically.
• Material Type: Porcelain coatings cure faster than cast iron, so labor hours change accordingly.
• Basin Size & Bowls: A deep farmhouse sink demands more coating passes than a shallow bar sink.
• Existing Damage: Chips larger than 2" or rust pits may require filler layers.
• Color Change: Switching from white to trendy matte black adds specialty pigments.
• Kitchen Access: Tight condos with limited ventilation call for extra containment gear.
CountBricks’ AI engine listens as you describe these details on-site, adds line items in real time, and updates totals instantly.
1. Reglaze: $225 – $600, one-day turnaround, minimal demo.
2. Replace with like-for-like sink: $500 – $1,100 after fixture cost, countertop cutout, plumbing reconnections, and disposal fees.
3. Replace and upgrade counters: $3,000+, including fabrication and backsplash adjustments.
For many homeowners focused on aesthetics and value, CountBricks estimates show reglazing delivers up to 70% savings over replacement.
Big-box DIY kits cost around $45, but failure rates are high because home users struggle with surface prep and proper respirators. Repairs later on can push total spend beyond a professional job. CountBricks’ network of vetted residential contractors adheres to manufacturer application specifications, ensuring an even coat and proper curing.
Step into your client’s kitchen, open our mobile app, and talk through the project. While you speak, CountBricks performs the following:

• Wait 48 hours before using the sink so the topcoat fully cures.
• Avoid abrasive cleaners; choose non-scratch pads and mild detergent.
• Place a rubber mat on the basin floor when washing cast-iron cookware.
• Schedule a quick inspection every 3–4 years for touch-ups.
During a recent Brooklyn brownstone refresh, a CountBricks contractor used voice commands to create a sink reglaze line item while still on-site. The AI factored in a double-bowl apron sink, minor rust repair, and premium matte finish, returning a $485 quote approved on the spot. The client saved over $600 compared with full sink and countertop replacement, and the contractor shaved two days off the project timeline by avoiding demolition.

During a recent suburban remodel, a CountBricks pro offered these three tiers on-site. The homeowner selected the mid-range option, delighted by the transparent pricing breakdown displayed on the live proposal. Because the contractor’s quote was generated through CountBricks, every added task—plumbing reconnection, disposal of old faucet, silicone color match—was already itemized, eliminating surprise costs and protecting profit.
