If its a cast iron sink, there is no current process being offered to do a good job in real porcelain. If its a stamped steel sink, I am sure you can get it done for $500 -1000 or so in real porcelain. You can likely find a replace ment for $500-$1500 in great condition. Price will depend on if its stamped steel or cast iron. Cast will be the most costly. Ken who ever told you $3000 was trying to rip you off or had no accurate info.

It has been our laundry room in the basement but I believe it was originally in the kitchen. It is in poor shape. It has rust, a bad faucet was put on and it got a bad paint job at some point. One guy we talked to sad it would be about 3000 to restore, are there any less expensive options that would be worth trying? We don't want to get replace the sink. We are in Central Jersey. Thanks Jennifer Hi
