Repairing a crack in a kitchen sink, a bathroom sink or an old porcelain enamel sink following the impact of a heavy object is easy to do. To do this, you will need to apply a two-component epoxy resin, sand, and then repaint the sink with an epoxy paint.
There are two reasons that can lead you to repair a cracked sink:
The shock of a heavy object: a bottle of perfume slips from your hands and cracks in the porcelain sink in the bathroom or a heavy cast iron pot cracks the kitchen sink when it falls.
The renovation of a porcelain enamel sink: you have found an old cracked porcelain sink in a flea market, and you would like to use it in your renovation project but first you need to repair it.
In short, to repair a crack or impacts on a porcelain enamel sink, we will be using two-component epoxy resin. It is a kit consisting of two pastes or two gels (depending on the manufacturer) that must be mixed together and then applied to the surface to be repaired.
In order to hide the repair, because the applied resin will be visible like a patch, we will have to repaint the sink or the sink with a specific paint.
Note that if the sink is already disassembled, the task will be much easier.
Disassemble the sink
De-grease and clean the sink
Lightly sand the enamel of the sink over its entire surface with sandpaper.
Clean to remove all traces of dust on the surfaces.
Resin application
Resin sanding
When the resin dries, put on the protective equipment again, especially the respiratory protection mask (fine resin dust is very harmful), then with the sandpaper, sand the resin until a smooth surface is obtained.
The resin will not be quite the same color as the enamel on the sink.
The sink repaired and restored, all you have to do is put it down.
