CountBricks: Reglaze Sink Solutions for Residential Projects

James Miller
Head of Sales

Why “Reglaze Sink” Matters in Modern Residential Construction

The bathroom and kitchen are the most-touched spaces in any home remodel. Homeowners want them refreshed quickly, cleanly, and cost-effectively. Enter the request that pops up on countless project scopes: reglaze sink. Whether you are flipping a property or upgrading a client’s forever home, sink reglazing delivers a showroom finish without the teardown of a full replacement. CountBricks equips contractors with real-time material pricing, labor rates, and AI-generated takeoffs so you can quote a reglaze project in minutes—often during the first walkthrough.

What Is Sink Reglazing?

Reglazing (also called refinishing) involves cleaning, repairing chips, and spraying a high-build epoxy or urethane coating over the existing porcelain, cast iron, or ceramic surface. The result is a like-new basin that cures within 24 hours. Homeowners gain a fresh aesthetic, you avoid plumbing rework, and landfill waste is reduced—an increasingly important selling point in sustainability-minded communities.

Typical Residential Use Cases We See at CountBricks

• Budget-conscious flips where every dollar saved on fixtures improves ROI

• Mid-range remodels that prioritize quick turnarounds to minimize family disruption

• Historic properties, where the original sink shape or size is no longer manufactured

• Eco-friendly renovations targeting green building certifications

Cost Drivers: What Our Data Reveals

Because CountBricks pulls live pricing from regional suppliers, we see precise cost fluctuations. Across thousands of voices-to-estimate sessions, three variables impact your “reglaze sink” line item the most:

1. Substrate material (porcelain, cast iron, enamel over steel)

2. Level of pre-reglaze repair (hairline cracks vs. deep chipping)

3. Access and masking complexity (undermounts beneath stone tops cost more than drop-ins)

Our platform instantly factors these into your proposal, eliminating the need to cross-reference spreadsheets or phone suppliers.

Step-by-Step Field Process

1. Degrease and acid-etch to ensure coating adhesion

2. Fill chips or cracks with high-build compound

3. Feather-sand repairs and wipe down with tack cloth

4. Mask faucet, countertop, and surrounding finishes

5. Spray sealer primer followed by two top coats of reglaze finish

6. Demask, re-caulk, and cure for 24 hours

CountBricks auto-populates this workflow in your task list so field crews have mobile checklists synced to the office schedule.

Quality Control Checklist

• Verify water shutoff before disassembly

• Test coating thickness with mil gauge (target: 5-7 mils)

• Confirm gloss level matches spec sheet

• Document before/after photos in the CountBricks app

Pro Tips from CountBricks Estimators

• Offer an optional non-slip additive for clients concerned about safety in shallow basins

• Schedule reglazing at the tail-end of dusty trades to avoid airborne debris in the finish

• Bundle multiple sinks or a tub to maximize crew efficiency—our software auto-discounts mobilization fees

• Educate homeowners on mild cleaners; abrasive powders void most warranties

How CountBricks Gives You an Edge

• Real-time supplier integrations slash material shopping time

• AI blueprint takeoffs convert PDFs into precise sink counts, fixture IDs, and square footage masking areas

• Voice-to-estimate lets you walk the site, call out scope items, and watch line items populate instantly

• One-click invoice generation keeps cash flow predictable, even when change orders arise
