Solutions for Deteriorating Ceramic Bathroom Countertops

Over time, ceramic bathroom countertops can deteriorate, especially if they aren't maintained properly. If you are remodeling and find that your ceramic bathroom countertops need to be revived, here are a couple of options for you.

Restoring the Countertops

You can try to revive the countertops that you currently have with a homemade solution. Mix distilled vinegar, warm water and mild soap together in a large bucket and use a sponge to wipe it down. A soft bristle tooth brush is also a safe option to clean without doing any damage and is good to help get in any seams or grout that you may have. Hydrogen peroxide can also be used if you have any serious stains.

Replacing the Countertops

To remove, use a pry bar and a hammer to get the countertop up. Then, use an adhesive remover for anything that was left behind. You can apply epoxy to the new countertop to install it. Be sure to apply pressure and clamp it down until it is completely dry and set.

Sealing the Countertops

Whether you decide to restore or replace your deteriorating countertops, it is a good idea to seal them when you are finished. This will help to protect them from any future damage.
