How can I fix a hole in my sink?

Question

I put a small hole in the sink about the size of a dime.

Answer 1

You can fill it in with fiberglass, much like auto bodywork.  It is not overly difficult, but if you never did that sort of thing you would be better off seeking help.  

Answer 2

If its ss you can put a short bolt through the hole with a rubber washer on it and a nut underneath. If its porcelain??, you may try silly putty or magic putty.

Answer 3

If your sink is stainless steel you might could check with a welder about welding it.  It's not going to look pretty though.  

If it is fiber glass you might could ask the hardware store about patching it with some type of filler.  

The people at a hardware store (True Value, Lowes, Home Depot) will know if it can be patched or if it needs replacing.  

Hope this helps,

Answer 4

A stainless sink can be welded, but it's cheaper to buy a new sink.

A ceramic sink can be repaired with a ceramic adhesive. It's messy if you ain't REAL careful.

A fiber sink can be repaired using a fiberglass patch kit. These can be purchased at an auto supply store.

Duct tape is actually a good temporary fix. Looks bad, and I'm sure the wife will give you an incentive to replacing  or repairing it properly. However, rednecks fix everything with either WD-40 or duct tape.
