Most bathrooms are more forgiving; if a fixture gives out, any number of salvage replacements or new sinks might work. That wasn\u2019t the case in ours.<\/p>\n
Our 1895 wood-frame Queen Anne row house, an original two-family, is remarkably intact. Among its features are the original kitchens and two tiny bathrooms, identical and stacked atop one another.<\/p>\n
Each has bead-board wainscoting, molding framing a claw-foot tub, and an oval porcelain cast-iron wall-hung sink. By the time we arrived on the scene, the underside of one of the sinks was cracked and the sink was rusted around the drain and at the base of the hot-water faucet. We put some plumber\u2019s putty on the crack, and it held, while we searched for replacement sinks. <\/p>\n %<\/span><\/span> | %<\/span><\/a> | %<\/span><\/a> | %<\/span><\/a> | %<\/span><\/a> | %<\/span><\/a> Single Page<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Most bathrooms are more forgiving; if a fixture gives out, any number of salvage replacements or new sinks might work. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":176696,"featured_media":495666,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"schneps_byline":"","schneps_post_style":"","schneps_post_source":"","schneps_syndicated_read_more":"","schneps_post_source_sitename":"","schneps_syndicated_thumb_html":"","schneps_syndicated_thumb_src":"","schneps_post_source_shortname":"","schneps_post_source_url":"","schneps_post_source_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7644],"tags":[30085,21673,7461,1619],"districts":[],"class_list":["post-495663","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-interiors-renovation","tag-bathroom","tag-brownstoner-magazine","tag-renovators-toolbox","tag-salvage-2","listing-corcoran-22838206","listing-corcoran-23042634"],"acf":[],"parsely":{"version":"1.1.0","meta":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","headline":"What You Need to Know About Reglazing a Sink","url":"http:\/\/www.brownstoner.com\/interiors-renovation\/how-to-reglaze-sink-porcelain-antique-salvage-tips\/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"http:\/\/www.brownstoner.com\/interiors-renovation\/how-to-reglaze-sink-porcelain-antique-salvage-tips\/"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/www.brownstoner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/vintage-bathroom-crane-ad-1926-sink-tub.jpg?w=150&h=150&crop=1","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/www.brownstoner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/vintage-bathroom-crane-ad-1926-sink-tub.jpg"},"articleSection":"Interiors & Renovation","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cate Corcoran"}],"creator":["Cate Corcoran"],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Brownstoner","logo":""},"keywords":["bathroom","brownstoner magazine","renovator's toolbox","salvage"],"dateCreated":"2023-07-24T14:00:00Z","datePublished":"2023-07-24T14:00:00Z","dateModified":"2024-08-02T17:11:15Z"},"rendered":"
