Which Resin is Best for Sinks?

What Makes a Resin Suitable for Sinks?

For sinks, a resin needs to deliver clarity, high durability, and protection against the daily wear typical in kitchens and bathrooms. Scratch resistance helps keep the surface looking new despite regular use. UV protection is also important if your sink is exposed to natural or artificial light, as it helps prevent yellowing or fading over time. Ease of application is vital, particularly for at-home projects—look for formulas with simple mixing ratios and manageable working times.

Recommended Resin Solutions

A clear epoxy like Art Pro is ideal for restoring or recoating sinks. It offers a balance of clarity, scratch-resistance, and UV protection—qualities essential for busy wet areas. For those seeking to elevate the look further, the Stone Effect Collection lets you create durable marble-inspired effects on sinks and surrounding worktops, adding unique style as well as resilience.

Practical Tips for Application

• Always clean and lightly sand the sink surface before application to ensure proper adhesion.
• Follow the exact mixing ratios provided (for Art Pro, a simple 3:2 by weight) to achieve optimal finish and cure.
• Apply in layers thick enough to create a tough surface, typically over 1.5mm where possible.
• To restore colour, pair your resin with suitable pigments such as Colourfun, which mixes smoothly and lets you customise your sink’s appearance.
