Sink RepairLeaking drains are common in basic sink repair work, yet easily dealt with. The first thing you'll need to do is discover where the leak is coming from. To do this, let water run from the faucet into the sink. Make sure you have a pail placed to catch water. Shine a flashlight onto the pipes, and cover a paper towel around each one to identify the location of the leak. Next, tighten the couplings in the drainpipe with the leakage. If this does not fix the issue, try cleaning the pipe threads and changing the gasket. To do this, you'll need to detach the sink basket from the basin, utilizing a wrench to loosen the nuts. Keep the basin in place with a screwdriver or a set of pliers in the crosspiece. Scrub off all the old putty, then place the new gasket, followed by the sink basket. Once this is done, it's just a matter of tightening the washer nut, applying sealant, and checking the drains once again.

Enable it to dry as instructed by the maker, then sand down the fixed area so that the filled area is level with the rest of the sink. Lastly, discover a porcelain touch-up paint that best matches your sink's color and apply to the repaired area.
Your sink stopper may likewise need repair work or replacement. If you have a sink stopper, there will be a horizontal pivot rod linked to a vertical clevis, which attaches the stopper to the sink.

Pay unique attention to the rubber seal. If you have to change the seal or stopper, it's an easy matter of following the manufacturer's instructions. Otherwise, soak the stopper in the cleansing service, reassemble the pivot rod and clevis, and test to see if it's working.
