Repairing your sink can seem like an impossible project if you do not have the tips or materials needed. Here at Rescue Plumbing we’re here to save you!
When you’re ready to fix the damaged area of your sink or just ready to remodel, these are the materials that will make your life easier.
Whether you are installing a porcelain sink or upgrading to a stainless steel finish you want to make sure you follow these 3 tips:
Compare Cost
Comparing the cost of materials from a different store could help you save a great deal. You should not be sending more money and giving your time.
Correct Materials
Ensuring that you have the correct materials is a must!
If you install a sink drain that is too big or too small it could cause clogs in your sink leading you to need another repair.
Do not force anything, you need to have the right size.
Proper Installation
Make sure you have attached everything properly!
If the sink is not installed on the wall correctly or if you replace your sink drain and it is installed poorly, a simple fix could become a bigger cost.
Why You May Need Sink Repair
You can do a sink repair for all types of sinks. From a porcelain sink repair in the bathroom sink to the most common – kitchen sinks.
The kitchen sink is typically the most used one in your home and no wonder it is more prone to repair or replacement than others. Here’s what to look out for:
Cracked or Chipped Area
When you notice cracks, stains, or a chip on the surfaces or edge of your sink it may be time to lightly sand it or scrub to smooth out any rough edges or a possible replacement.
Not all chips or even a scratch have to be a huge cost, if you have a small brush it can be repaired with a bit of paint and drying time. You can always look for a tub refinisher for those bad chips on porcelain.
Leaking
If you notice any leaking from the fixtures onto the floor or any surface near the sink, it is time to inspect or possibly replace your systems. You may even use some epoxy to fill in a gap if needed.
Clog / Backing up
A backup means dirt and other debris are coming up through your drain.
Instead of the water going down the drain, there’s a blockage that is causing it to come back up through the drain.
Rusty Sinks
Over time if you do not pay careful attention, certain areas may begin to rust and possibly cause cracks in your sinks.
If the sink drain, p-trap, or faucet is old and left overlooked it can lead to rust stains. For porcelain sinks, this may mean a porcelain sink repair.
Smell / Noise
If you notice any weird smells or noises coming from the pipes, both of these are indicators that something is amiss and time for possible repair.
