Kitchen sink

Hi

The sink is leaking around the silicon at the top of the picture..

Can this part of the sink be replaced ?

Kind Regards

Stephen

Yes, but it is probably as easy to repair it.

I would strip it all out, clean everything up and start again unless it is cracked somewhere that will probably fix it otherwise your local bee and pooh will probably have a replacement

cool thanks for the replies..

whats the name of the part that I need ? I presume there is a thread on the sink that my replacement part fixes too ??

You will have noticed my bowl and a half sink kit which I installed to replace the following.>>>

That is fricking awesome


Yes strip it down. Clean all the gunk off. Check the washers are sound.

Refix with a small bead of silicone sealant on each surface.

And turn that washing machine spigot round on the right so that it points up.

ive stripped it out all out and cleaned it in the bath im actually disgusted with the amount of crap that came out of the pipes and the basin under the sink.. anyways ive put it back together and it appears to have fixed the leak

cheers guys
