Should You Replace Your Sink During Your Bathroom Remodel

Remodeling your bathroom provides an exciting opportunity to completely change the look of the room and update it. Whether the bathroom is simply aging and needs a facelift or if it has serious structural issues or flaws, remodeling can make this important room more attractive and functional. Based on your bathroom remodeling plan, you will need to decide whether to replace the sink. Here are a few points to keep in mind.

Assess the sink's condition

When you examine the bathroom to decide how to renovate it, check the sink to see if it needs to be replaced. Discoloration, cracks, chips, or leaks may be signs that you need a new sink. If the basin is deeply stained or shows signs of other damage, this may be the perfect time to swap it out for a new one. On the other hand, if the sink is relatively new, if damage is slight and fixable, or if your budget is tight, you might decide to keep the sink for now and repair it as best you can.

Coordinate bathroom fixtures

You may want to shop for new sinks while planning your bathroom makeover. Chances are you'll find the perfect model on sale. Homeowners in Royal Oak MI may have specific ideas about what they want and where to find it, which will keep effort and cost to a minimum. However, if you decide that a new sink will not fit into your budget right now, you should consider ways of coordinating your current sink with new fixtures and equipment in the remodeled bathroom. For example, if you have a new pink shower kit installed but have a white sink that you want to keep, consider adding pink accents like a soap dish or mirror frame to blend with the new shower kit. That way the old, or current, sink won't look out of place with the new fixture.

Buy matching fixtures

But if you are going to buy the shower, toilet, and sink at the same time, you can either get all three in the same style or decorative pattern and colors, or you can look for similar or coordinating colors and themes that will unify the look of your bathroom. Royal Oak MI homeowners can work with home remodelers to get the best deals on bathroom fixtures so that everything matches or works together to create a streamlined décor.

Repair a damaged sink

Keeping an older sink means you should probably consider having it re-glazed or repaired if it has chips or cracks. An aging sink in a remodeled bathroom can look out of place, so you'll want to think about ways of updating the sink if you choose not to replace it. Damaged cabinetry for the sink should be repaired as well, using paint or varnish for a fresh look. Bathroom remodeling can make your home feel vibrant again.

Reviews

From start to finish Kurtis was a great company to work with. From the initial contact and design concept with Gregory Holster to the cabinet drop off team, the install team led by project manager Jeff Tuomi and the countertop company, the project was on time and all work was performed beyond expectations. This was greatly appreciated seeing as it was completed on December 23. All the people involved were professional and did an excellent job.

Shanna was our project consultant. Picking out cabinets along with counters can be somewhat overwhelming but her knowledge & experience helped us make the right decisions. Dylan & Juwan unloaded truck & Dylan check off ship ticket to make sure all boxes were accounted for. Courteous & pleasant to talk to…nice job of stacking everything neatly in our garage. We couldn't be more pleased with the service & so happy with our kitchen

We recently worked with Lauren on cabinetry for a master bathroom renovation. She was great to work on the design and selections. Lauren was efficient and responsive from cabinet selection through ordering. Our overall installation was smooth. We had some unforeseen circumstances impacting our ability to accept delivery of our cabinets on the initial agreed upon date. Kurtis was very accommodating in rescheduling delivery given our project challenges. We couldn't be happier with our cabinets for this project.

We had complete renovations to our kitchen and main bathroom. From start to finish, the design with Shanna was exactly what we asked for and Jeff stayed on top of the renovations, communicating each step of the way. Every worker was professional and the final product is elegant and functional. We were very happy with Kurtis and would choose Shanna and Jeff again.

We love our new kitchen! Kurtis Kitchen & Bath did an outstanding job, and Adrian at the Clarkston location was exceptional to work with—creative, patient, and really listened to what we wanted. The project was well-organized, and we went from demo to a fully functioning kitchen in just 30 days. Highly recommend!
