Moved into a house recently to find the sink is falling away from the granite worktop, and Im struggling to find any way to fix it...
Its an undermount steel 1.5 sink, which is basically straddling 2 1000mm units. So essentially where these 2 units join together is supporting between the two sinks. The sink was then simply sealed using silicone, so no other fixings or ply used.
The supporting frame of the cupboards has turned to Weetabix, due to water ingress. We did try to support the sink with wood, and reseal, but this last a couple of months.
As its a U shaped worktop, and the sink being in the middle of the bottom of the U, I don't even think we could remove the granite, which would be best so we could then replace the 2 1000m units, ply the top of the units and refit the sink.
I don't know if we could retrofit any fixing kits to the sink, could we for example screw into the granite, to fix the sink securely?
In desperate need of a way to fix this without great expense, as we would probably look to refit the kitchen in a year or two, so just need something to keep us going...
