I recently installed a bathroom sink/vanity. The problem is with the drain. There was a small defect in the porcelain -- the hole on the underside/bottom of the sink wasn't perfectly circular, but had a small chip in it. So when I put the gasket+washer+nut on from the bottom, the gasket wasn't big enough to cover the hole (because of the chip). Silicone caulk around the perimeter worked for a few days, but then lots of water on the floor. What to do? I'm not removing/returning the sink! Do I remove the tailpiece, etc. and try to repair the porcelain? If so, with what? Do I try to find a bigger gasket? Do I use some kind of sealant/epoxy/spray foam on the already assembled joint? We are talking a fairly small gap... Help!
