Ceramic Sink rust appearing

May 27, 2021 Last reply: 5 years ago 4 Replies

We have a very old white ceramic sink and draining board unit. Rust is beginning to appear between the white enamel sink bottom and the stainless steel sink drain hole. Could anyone recommend a course of action and/or some kind of sealant. Thanks


replace the drain

Just replace the waste (screwfix et al do lots of versions some that need a plug others with sprung covers [usually hand wash sinks]).

A la :-

These usually come with rubber o-rings these should be all the sealing that is needed .

Yes if you are seeing a bit of rust, it has to be pretty bad where you can't see it. I'd have thought a stainless steel alloy with less ferrous content might be the better way to go, take a magnet with you when shopping!

Poor quality stainless steel - replace with something better.
