NEED HELP: Kitchen Sink Restoration

[cooperS]

I am trying to find someone to refinish my kitchen sink. I just took possession of my house and the previous owner had stained the kitchen sink pretty bad. I want to find someone that could refinish/ reglaze it, so that it will looks new again.

Anyone here might know someone that do it?
and how much it usually cost?

Thanks!

Have you tried using Borax as well? It should be in the same aisle with laundry detergent. Good luck!

- wet the sink
- cover it in baking soda
- let it sit for a bit (the soda will absorb some of the stains)
- wet a brush or steel wool with vinegar
- scrub the hell out of it wetting the sink only to make the baking soda into a paste
- rinse
- if you dont notice a difference... you need a new sink

Light grit sandpaper and a little tiny bit of water... scour it lightly in a circular motion... takes a bit of time, but it should come off... then just clean and buff as normal.

here are some pictures of my sink.
It is not a stainless steel one, its those procleain white sink.

at first we are thinking to replace to whole sink to stainless steel, but since it is an oversized kitchen sink (33 x 23). it will be quite costly to custom made it, so we decided to try refinish it instead.
just want it done before we start putting in the hardwood flooring in.

thanks guy for all the tips
