A chipped or stained bathroom or kitchen sink can drag down the entire look of a home. For many homeowners, the knee-jerk reaction is to purchase a brand-new unit and hire a plumber to swap it out. Reglazing—also known as refinishing—offers a smarter, greener, and far more budget-friendly path. CountBricks has helped hundreds of residential clients restore porcelain, cast iron, and even cultured marble sinks to “showroom new” condition in a single day.
• Reglazing often costs 60-75 % less than replacement because there is no demolition, countertop modification, or disposal fee.
• Labor hours shrink dramatically; an average two-sink bathroom requires three to four labor hours instead of a full-day tear-out.
• Because existing plumbing stays intact, there is no risk of hidden water-line surprises.
• Keeping a sink out of the landfill can divert 30–40 lb of porcelain waste per unit.
• Fewer new materials need to be manufactured, shipped, and stocked, cutting embedded CO₂ emissions.
• VOC-compliant coatings used by CountBricks certified crews meet the strictest state regulations.
Traditional refinishing contractors still rely on manual measurements, handwritten quotes, and paper invoices. CountBricks eliminates that friction with a full AI-powered stack:
1. Realtime Voice Capture: During an on-site walk-through, the estimator speaks measurements and condition notes out loud. Our mobile app converts those words into structured data in seconds.
2. Instant Line-Item Build: The platform matches recorded dimensions to region-specific labor rates and material options pulled from the CountBricks cost library.
3. One-Tap Proposal: Homeowners receive a branded PDF that outlines surface prep, primer, topcoat, warranty, and project timeline—often before the estimator leaves the driveway.
4. Automated Scheduling & Invoicing: Dates, deposits, and final payments sync directly to the client portal at CountBricks.com/dashboard.
• Surface prep & masking: 1 technician, 1 hr
• Bonding primer application: 0.5 hr
• High-build acrylic urethane topcoat: 1 hr
• Cure & polish: 0.5 hr
Total labor: 3–4 hr • Material cost: $38–$55 • Average project price: $325–$450 per sink*

1. Deep Clean: Remove soap scum, mineral deposits, and silicone caulk so the bonding agent can bite into the substrate.
2. Chip Repair: Fill pits with fast-cure polyester putty, then sand flush.
3. Mask & Vent: Tape off counters and install a portable fume extractor to keep the jobsite safe for occupants.
4. Prime: Spray a thin adhesion-promoting primer that bonds to porcelain, metal, or cultured marble.
5. Topcoat: Apply three coats of high-solids acrylic urethane in the client’s chosen gloss level.
6. Cure: Allow two hours of forced-air drying before removing masking.
7. Quality Check: CountBricks technicians perform a 10-point inspection and upload photos to the client portal.
With proper maintenance—mild cleaners, no abrasive pads—a CountBricks reglazed sink carries a five-year workmanship warranty and routinely exceeds ten years of daily use.
Yes. Our coatings are color-tintable. Clients often shift from dated almond to modern bright white without altering surrounding tile.
Our low-VOC materials and negative-air filtration keep indoor air quality well below permissible exposure limits. Pets can return shortly after ventilation gear is removed.
Because the process is fast and non-destructive, CountBricks frequently schedules sink reglazing alongside cabinet repainting and countertop resurfacing. One site visit, one invoice, multiple refreshed surfaces—saving homeowners and general contractors alike from budget creep.
A 1940s San Jose bungalow featured vintage pedestal sinks riddled with hairline cracks. The GC used CountBricks Takeoff AI to scan blueprints and flag three fixtures for reglaze instead of replacement. Total savings: $1,350 and two days on the construction calendar.

A reglaze sink job is often the gateway to broader surface restoration work. Once homeowners witness the transformation, they ask, “Can you do the tub? What about the tile countertop?” CountBricks was built for exactly this type of scope expansion.
• Bathroom Refresh: Two sinks, one tub, and a 60 s.f. tile surround completed in two days, saving an average 22 labor hours versus demolition.
• Kitchen Glow-Up: Stainless sink scratch removal, cultured-marble counter reglaze, and cabinet door spraying—priced and scheduled in a single CountBricks estimate.
During the initial voice survey, our software flags adjacent surfaces that meet refinishing criteria. The estimator receives instant prompts: “Client’s tub shows visible etching—add optional line item?” These prompts increase margin per visit by 18 % on average.
Every reglaze project is logged to the client’s digital record. Should a service call arise, technicians know the exact coating batch, primer type, and cure time used—cutting diagnostics from 45 minutes to under 10.
CountBricks Academy offers a two-day hands-on clinic for contractors who want to add reglazing to their service mix. Graduates unlock preferred material pricing inside the CountBricks marketplace and receive co-branding on CountBricks.com/partners.
• Reglaze isn’t a niche side gig—it’s a scalable profit center when paired with CountBricks AI estimating.
• Bundling multiple surfaces maximizes crew utilization and compresses project timelines.
• Data-rich project histories reduce warranty costs and build customer trust.
