Best thing to seal kitchen sink plug hole?

[rking100]

Hi,

I have a cheap kitchen sink and the plug hole surround is not fully sealed, and im not sure how to seal it. When the sink has water in it, the surround for the plug hole leaks and water drips through, is there any special material that would be best to seal the leak?

Cheers

Simply try a quality silicone on both faces, but don`t squirt loads on it😉

take it to bits dry it off and bed it down with a bit of silocone on both parts instead of the rubber

Welcome Rking100 whilst all the above posts are suitable I like to use a McAlpine combined waste and overflow model no FSW2PC for these types of sink as you do not require any type of sealant 🙂regards turnpin

The silicone should seal it. But, if it doesn't I wouldn't fancy the job of getting it out again.
