Painted Bathroom Sink and Countertop Makeover

There are a lot of great products out there, as you wander the aisles of the hardware store. But how do you know if they will do what they claim they will do? I’m always glad to find someone who has tried it and can say what worked and what didn’t. Plus — a painted bathroom sink and countertop, no sealer required? That sounds like a perfect makeover! Come learn from today’s holiday guest, Kelli, how she used tub and tile paint to give her 90’s integral cultured marble sinks a completely new, modern look (and then keep reading for more ideas for how to update an integral sink and how to use tile refinishing paint) —

Painted Bathroom Sink and Countertop Makeover

by Kelli from I’m Flying South

 Hey there, friends!  I am so thrilled to be here with you at Remodelaholic!  I’m Kelli from I’m Flying South.  I write about all kinds of things over in my little corner of the internet.  The blog started as a way to get out all of my feelings surrounding our move from Michigan to Florida and transformed into the chronicles of life as a SAHM to twins +1 and beating Postpartum Depression & Anxiety.  Eventually, we moved back up to Michigan, and now that we’re settled into a new house in our beloved Mitten State, I’m sharing all of the work that my husband Brian and I are doing to make our new home feel more like ours.DIY Painted Bathroom Sink and Countertop Tutorial - I'm Flying South featured on @Remodelaholic

Luckily, our new home was fairly turn-key aside from needing a few appliances.  Built in the 1990s, the house is full of cultured marble and shiny, yellow brass.  It was a foreclosure that the bank came in and fixed up a bit with new carpet and fresh peachy-beige paint on every square inch of the walls, making it clean and very livable.  While the colors and fixtures are not aesthetically our taste, we have been able to take our time making it our own.  If you want to check out my first big victory over the peachy-beige paint, feel free to wander over to my blog.

Budget-Friendly Sink and Countertop DIY Makeover - I'm Flying South featured on @Remodelaholic

One of very favorite projects so far is our painted Bathroom Sink & Counter Makeover.  It was a fairly quick, easy, inexpensive update that made a HUGE difference in the feel of the rooms.  After a little water leak incident in the basement, we decided that the old, swiveling, shiny yellow brass faucets in both our half bath and the boys’ bathroom had to go.  And while we had the faucets off of the counters, we might as well paint the counters like I’d been planning!

So let’s walk through the process of the painted bathroom sink and counter, shall we? The half bath counter was a beige marble-ish.  Nothing terrible, but just not our style either.  And after painting the walls (Pantone Illusion Blue – Valspar) and the cabinet (Blue Coal – Valspar) and changing out the cabinet hardware, the counter was just screamin’ for a makeover.

I’d heard good things about Rustoleum’s Tub & Tile Paint, so we decided to go that direction.

First up, supplies:

  • Rustoleum Tub & Tile kit
  • 4-inch paint roller (& tray if desired)
  • fine-bristled paint brush
  • craft sponge brushes
  • Comet
  • sponge
  • Lime Away
  • abrasive sponge
  • tack cloth
  • 400-600 wet/dry sandpaper
  • bucket
  • lots of elbow grease!

Painted Bathroom Sink and Countertop Makeover – Getting Started

Remove your faucet and any old caulk from the counter.  Scrub the sink and counter with comet and a sponge and rinse well.  Then scrub with Lime-Away and an abrasive sponge; rinse well.  Next up, sanding.  Sanding is pretty important, as this is how you’re going to get your surface nice and grabby for the paint.  I’ll be honest, 400 grit sandpaper felt like I was just caressing the surface of the tile.  So I went rogue and grabbed some 320 from the garage.  The 320 felt like I was actually sanding something rather than giving the tile a nice massage.

prep sink and countertop for painting by sanding - I'm Flying South featured on @Remodelaholic

Sand, sand, sand till your arm feels like it might fall off.  The sanding creates a really fine white powder all over the surface, so wipe with a damp cloth a few times, then wipe with a dry one.  Finally, I let the surface air dry a bit to be sure that it was completely dry.  Tape any surfaces that you might not want to get the tile paint onto (walls, vanity, etc).

Now it’s time for some epoxy!  I’ll admit that sometimes I’m not the best at following directions.  Sure I read on the box and from several websites that this stuff was stinky, but I wasn’t prepared for just how stinky it actually is.  I now have no nose hairs left.   (Kidding.  Kind of.)  I had windows open and fans on and the kids were shipped off to Grammy’s house for a sleepover, but I just figured that an N95 mask would dothe trick.  Um, no.  I lasted approximately 3 minutes until I sent my husband to Lowe’s for a respirator!  Apparently it takes more than the manufacturer and several testimonials to convince me to save my brain cells.

Painting the countertop is actually pretty easy.  A painted bathroom sink was a bit more tricky, but still not terrible.  The Rustoleum box recommends using a 4 inch roller with foam cover and a very fine bristled brush for the edges.  First, I used the fine bristled brush to cut in around the edges of the counter.  I actually did the entire first coat with a brush instead of a roller.  I found it much easier to get a nice thin coat on with a brush.

Painted Bathroom Sink and Countertop Makeover – Beware of Bubbles!

The above photos are actually of the first coat in the boys’ bathroom, because it’s the one I started … and it’s just … better.  My husband and I each started one sink and someone got kicked off of his project because **cough**PAINT BUBBLES**cough**.  The man just doesn’t believe in the whole tried-and-true “multiple, thin coats” method.   But he is insanely handy and awesome to have around, so I’ll keep him.

So while I was brushing on my nice thin first coat, Brian went straight for the roller.  No brush, just a nice, thick coat with a roller.  You know what happens when coats of paint are too thick?  Bubbles, my friends.  Bubbles.

Painted Bathroom Sink and Countertop Makeover – Brush the edges

Don’t do that!  By the time I saw it, they were half dry.  So, I let it dry, sanded the bubbles down, and went back for the brush!  Brush for the edges, roller for the rest.  Lather, rinse, repeat.

painted bathroom sink and countertop process - I'm Flying South featured on @Remodelaholic

The trick with this stuff is not to get a super thick layer on there, but not too thin either.  Too thick = bubbles and drips.  Too thin = weird texture and marks.  I started with a thin layer and worked up from there.  We let each coat dry for about an hour before starting another coat.  The third coat was when I really started to get serious about texture.

how to paint an integral sink and counter in the bathroom - I'm Flying South featured on @Remodelaholic

Certain areas of the counter and sink were a bit more challenging to achieve a smooth finish – namely the corner behind the faucet and the bottom curve of the sink.  For behind the faucet and the tops of the pieces that crawl up the wall, I found that using the foam brush to kind of dab the paint on was pretty effective.  The sink just took a lot of smoothing with the roller.  Random little bubbles would form and even the thinnest layer seemed to want to drip a bit.  After rolling out the imperfections for awhile, we just called it good and decided to let it cure.

The prepping and painting process took roughly 3 hours – 30 minutes for prep, 10 minutes of painting per coat (maybe closer to 20 minutes for the last coat), plus one hour drying time between each of the 3 coats.  Rustoleum recommends 24 hours of curing before touching the surface and 72 hours of curing before getting the surface wet.  After the third day, in went with this pretty ladyPainted Bathroom Sink and Countertop Makeover

Isn’t she gorgeous???  It’s the English Country Double Handle Centerset Faucet (in Oil-Rubbed Bronze) by Kingston Brass.  Words cannot express how much I love her.  It’s probably unhealthy to be this in love with a faucet.  I’m fine with it!

And I’m so hopelessly in love with the finished products that I don’t mind the little bits of uneven texture here and there or the little drip mark in each sink.  They are barely noticeable unless you stand at the perfect angle and realllllly examine the whole thing.  And I don’t do that.  So we’re golden.  For us, it was the perfect budget makeover for our 90s-tastic sinks!

Getting the room all dolled up for the holidays was a treat, especially now that that counters are so clean and fresh. The half bath is one of the only rooms in our house that is consistently clean.  Between 3 little boys, 1 big one, and 3 dogs, someone is always making a mess in some corner of the house, so I try really hard to keep this room clean.  It’s great for guests and perfect for grabbing a tiny break from the reality of motherhood while I sit in there and pretend to go to the bathroom for 3 minutes just to get some peace and quiet.  (Shhh … don’t tell my boys!)

This bathroom gets used the most, and our 3 little boys are not gentle with it 🙂 I use a gentle, non-bleach bathroom cleaner on it, but also wipe it with Clorox wipes almost daily and it still looks like new!

    I have been really researching this option as I have two thirty year old sinks that are huge contenders for a makeover. Over all though I keep seeing reviews that at the 6 month mark the painted sinks start peeling, etc. As this does require a bit of laborious time and the kit itself while not expensive is not cheap either. So, I am still wondering if I should pull the trigger and spend the $40 for painting or the $97 for a new sink. ????

      Hi Laura!

      We chose this route because we knew that we will most likely completely remodel these bathrooms in a few years, so we wanted a quick, cheap, temporary fix. If you’re looking for a quick fix, this is a great way to go, but if you want something more long-term, I’d skip it and go with new sinks. Hope that helps! 🙂

      Hi Lisa! The Rustoleum kit contains 2 parts that you mix together before painting. The paint is mixed with epoxy, therefore I kinda just used the terms interchangeably. Sorry for the confusion 🙂

This bathroom is used the most in our house and we haven’t had any issues, even with our 3 little boys abusing it. 😉 I clean it with a gentle, non-bleach cleaner, but also wipe it down with Clorox wipes almost every day. Still looking beautiful! 🙂

    Did you re-caulk the areas that need caulking?
    if yes, did you caulk before or after stating to paint the sink and splash?

    Thank you for this awesome post, I am in the middle of it but not sure if I need to re-caulk now.

      Hi Susanna! Our caulk was actually in good shape, so we painted right over the top of it. There is a little seam on the side of the sink that should probably be caulked, and I think about it every time I’m in the bathroom, but I just haven’t taken the time to do it. I’m no expert, but we had no problem with the epoxy going over the caulk. Hope that helps!

    This looks like a great option for us. Were about to move into a house with 4 baths that all have this type of sink. Yuck! I’m wondering, if you just sand the whole thing down, do you really need to go over it with comet and lime away? Won’t sanding take any gunk off?

      Hi Renee! Apologies for the very late reply. The comet and limeaway help get the grime off before sanding, so that you can sand effectively. I definitely felt monotonous, but I’ve seen people complain about peeling paint, so I decided that I wasn’t skipping any steps, no matter how monotonous! 🙂 Hope that helps!

    Is the sink and counter made of real marble? Or is it made of marbled plastic because that makes a huge difference. My sink is metal and the counter is made of real marble so I am hesitant to use this product because I have a feeling it works better on plastic than marble and metal. Still I would like to paint at the very least the sink. Is it even possible to paint a metal sink?

      Hi Jo! The sink is cultured marble, and a year later it’s holding up beautifully. Rustoleum says that it is to be used on ceramic, porcelain or fiberglass, so I’m not sure how well it would work on metal.

    Thank you so much for your tutorial! I have the identical sink but an awkward 40″ cabinet with it. This is Exactly an great alternative to an expensive replacement. I was wondering if your cabinet hinges are outside/showing or inside? Were you able to switch the difference if so? Mine are outside, which dates the cabinets also.
    Great to hear the Epoxy is still holding up.

    I really want to try this, BUT, I don’t know if I want plain white. Did you put any kind of top coat/sealant/poly over it or is the finished project just that shiny? Do you think I could put the little granite “flakes” into the mix before painting it on? or is there some kind of color additive to change the color? This seems like one of the easier ways to “paint” those sinks that I’ve found.

      Hi Tammi,

      The finished product is just that shiny! There is no type of sealant over it. You’re right, it was really easy compared to some of the other methods of sink-painting that I’ve seen. As far as color, I know that you are able to get Rustoleum’s countertop paint tinted at the paint counter, but I’m not sure about this product. They are similar, so maybe email Rustoleum or ask at your local paint store? I’m not sure about adding anything to the mix. I wonder if the flakes would add texture? You could try it on a sheet of melamine or something similar before making the decision to do it on your sink. I will warn you though, that once the epoxy/paint parts are mixed, you don’t have more than about 6 hours before the mixture starts to get really sticky and won’t spread well. So if you do a test run, be prepared to either use 2 kits or to make a decision right away after your test run. Good luck! I’d love to hear about your results!

    Just wondering about painting a laminate counter top in the bathroom. What do you suggest?

    I’m excited to try this. My sink has little cracks around the drain. Should I or do I need to treat those cracks with something before I apply the paint? Or does the paint cover that problem?
    Thank you!

    We have the cultured marble in the bathroom as the vanity top along with the entire shower interior. Any thoughts as to weather or not this type of paint would hold up inside a shower ? We will eventually re-model and the shower will be redone but it’s going to be closer to the end of our project list.

      I’m sure Kelli can share her thoughts, but Heather also used it on her shower here and can give you some additional insights! 🙂 https://www.remodelaholic.com/update-tile-shower-tub-weekend/
