try using bartenders friend and a mr clean eraser. I think you can make a big improvement in the old sink.
Ann, I am refinishing a sink now that is 60 years old, it was scratched and leaching rust. I spotted a product called Epoxy paint at a home store. I tried it, my sink is now shiny glossy white, looks brand new! I am amazed and impressed. I would suggest this product, it was under $20. Read the instructions and cautions, ventilation is a must and always wear a mask. Keep the sink and marvel at your re-do.
I agree with the above, refinish rather that buy. Sinks are so pricey.
Lowes sells a paint for repairing sinks and tubs. I have used it on a tub and the renters seemed pretty happy. Just a thought
I have the same sink previous owners install, hate the sink, it is going once I replace the counters
My daughter has the same sink but the left side of hers is large & the right side very narrow. Have you tried a product called. Zap. It has worked wonders on several things I've tried it on. Good luck with whatever you choose
If you are looking to replace the sink, you might go to the nearest Habitat ReStore, which has many secondhand and donated home furnishings. I have seen several countertops with standard openings for sinks, and standard sinks as well.
Everything at Habitat ReStore is discounted, and the longer it is at the store, the more discounted it gets. You might find something that fits your kitchen sink and your decor! It's worth a look!
All the proceeds at Habitat ReStore go to Habitat for Humanity.
Isn't there a limited lifetime warranty you can try and get a new one and replace it? They should last better. Also white vinegar on a rag and letting it soak can help with stains.
