I have an old fashioned sink that I'd like have recovered.
I know that bathtubs that are not plastic can have a new
coat of enamel(?)put on. What is that procedure called and
who does it? The sink is made of the same stuff that the
old bathtubs were made of, so I imagine it could be redone,
too. Any advice?

I don't know how to find a service that recoats sinks, but I'll tell you
this: Do not under any circumstances believe anyone who says they can recoat
the sink at your house. If you need to know why, I'll post some pictures of
my bathroom sink, which was the victim of an unfortunate shortcut. It's
hideous. I've seen others like it, too.

I've had and old claw foot (1910) tub and a few old corner sinks done.
These were cast iron. Check your local area for "resurfacing tub and
sinks". IIRC this was an application of enamel. They turned out
great, so I sold them :)

i HAVE NO EXPERience but sinks are used for pots and pans, and even
dishes are harder than skin. So maybe they don't last as long, I
don't know.
I painted part of washing machine with epoxy appliance enamel white
spray paint and it looked beautiful, like a new washing machine, and
lasted as long as I had it, but then again, I never put it under
water.
