Kitchen Sink Resurfacing
I have a 2005 26.5 MB and the white acrylic kitchen sink has hairline cracks on the bottom of the right basin. Has anyone had success resurfacing their acrylic kitchen sinks. The local tub and sink resurfacing companies are telling me you are lucky if a kitchen sink resurfacing lasts 6 months due to wear and tear caused by pots, pans and silverware. If you have had success, please let me know the products and process you used to do it. Thanks so much.

The local resurfacing companies are correct; the coatings do not stick for long on surfaces subjected to wear, they peel or chip off.

The small cracks around the drains are common in older rigs and usually are just cosmetic. The discoloration can be reduced by spraying with bleach several times, with a wait time in between applications. Bleach does wonders on coffee staining in the white sinks.

While our kitchen sinks are in good condition, I try to keep them that way by using a rubber mat in the smaller sink and a Rubbermaid plastic dishpan in the larger sink. Avoid pouring boiling water into the sinks, as this can cause the cracking often seen.

Hi Larry: Ditto the boiling water, or even just really hot water. I also avoid any tank treatment chemicals.  The acrylic sinks are easier to damage than the stainless steel sinks. I use Washwaxall on the sink and counters.   RonB
