About 10-12 years ago we had our bathroom sink resurfaced (I don't know what with, and it's now rather pliable/rubbery), and it's beginning to peel around the faucet area, and in some very small spots in the main part of the sink bowl. Is there a best way to remove the new surface, which is quite ugly peeling, to get back to the old surface? Thanks.
you're asking for more work than it's worth.
I'm not sure what it was resurfaced with, but I will bet on some type of spray on enamel. I would try paint stripper. My disclaimer here is that this might make things worse and not loosen the coating.
It could also be an epoxy spray that they put on there but you should find out before doing anything. It's probably better to just call it quits and get a new one. Stripping it will make a mess, release potentially hazardous gases, and just be a lot of work to bring it back to the original ugliness you covered up in the first place. Best way, sand then seal.
General contractor (12 years) It's a Paint specifically used to Porcelain called Tough as Tile its a self leveling epoxy. You got 10 years out of it, so it did it's job very well, but to be honest...Your better off just getting a new sink. It would be well worth it in the long run. Sinks are very inexpensive now-a-days. Good luck.
