Resurfacing cultured marble counter top and sinks
+8
I have a large double vanity in the master bath, special ordered due to its large size, after 12 years of use and hard water the sinks look terrible. I am looking to see if there are any options to resurfacing them, since they were custom made and I would have to remove some of the woodwork in the bathroom to get it out and replaced. Has anyone resurfaced cultured marble and what are your thoughts?

I would like to know also. My cultured marble counter top sink has been damaged by my using a vinegar based homemade cleaner on them. Don't let vinegar near these!. I just need something to restore the pretty smooth semi-shiny surface they had when newly installed 2 years ago.

The only answer I got from a professional was, buy a new sink. When I do it will be porcelain.

LOL I found some options, that I think I will test on a cheap habitat for humanity/goodwill purchase. I just not ready to tear out part of my bathroom yet...lots of fluted wood trim and wainscoting would have to come out first to get counter top out and new in.

I have seen folks on here use concrete and a faux stone type overlay so to speak. Try looking under bath, bath vanity, bath remodel, type searches.

I bought a condo built in 1976 with custom vanities in 3 bthrms with decrepit, cultured marble sinks & counters. Since there we so many updates needed on a modest budget I opted to have them spray painted. Cost under $100. for all 3, including new drain units, looks terrific 9 years later

I'm sorry, currently in Thailand with no way of pulling old contracts. I know it was a special paint thinned for an artists type sprayer. Suggest calling paint suppliers/distributers for product possibilities. Off the top of my head I'd say akin to automobile paint. I cleaned the sinks & vanities with hydrogen peroxide and was told not to use them for 24 hrs. Painter brought new drains and installed them to make it all like sparkling new

Thanx for suggestions, I think I may have found my solution, found a new custom cut granite top on CL, that owner cannot use, it just needs two inches cut off each side. hope to talk to fabricator today, if it can be done I will buy it. 150.00 score...plus fabricator charge.
