Sink RepairLeaking drains are common in basic sink repair, yet easily handled. The very first thing you'll need to do is find where the leak is originating from. To do this, let water range from the faucet into the sink. Ensure you have a bucket placed to capture water. Shine a flashlight onto the pipelines, and cover a paper towel around each one to identify the place of the leakage. Next, tighten the couplings in the drain with the leakage. If this does not resolve the issue, try cleaning the pipe threads and changing the gasket. To do this, you'll have to separate the sink basket from the basin, utilizing a wrench to loosen up the nuts. Keep the basin in location with a screwdriver or a pair of pliers in the crosspiece.

Sink Replacement

Lastly, discover a porcelain touch-up paint that finest matches your sink's color and apply to the repaired location.

Otherwise, soak the stopper in the cleaning solution, reassemble the pivot rod and clevis, and test to see if it's working.
