Ceramic Sink rust appearing
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 |

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 :- https://www.screwfix.com/p/stainless...owl-90mm/9411k 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!
