Kitchen sink leak

blueyedson · 2010-03-03 11:50:25

Hello all, I have a tiny leak under my kitchen sink. On inspection it looks like its happening at the drain rubber part that is attached to the drain hole. Does anyone know if they are normally replaced (easy to get/replace?) . I have a sealer glue I could also try on it. cheers. (see pic attached)

Its easy to replace but can be a little fiddley if you cant get to the overflow. I usually try get one matching and use the same one.

Sometimes you can take it apart and reseal it.

Hi,

I had the same problem. Turned out in my case that the screw that holds the sink hole/drain in place was very loose. Once I tightened it the leak stopped.
