Moggaman Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Hi I wonder could you suggest any low cost fixes for our issue. We have a SS sink unit sitting on our timber worktop. There is also a 8mm timber backsplash. The sink unit sits proud of the timber by about 4 or 5mm so water getting between the sink unit and the splashback has no where to go and now the timber is appearing work for wear along with seepage down underneath the sink. Apart from taking out the whole worktop and replacing with quartz, marble, granite etc and doing an under mounted sink..is there any other options please. The worktop is 40mm oak Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryder72 Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 It appears that the worktop/sink junction hasnt been sealed with silicone with allows water to stand and is soaking the timber. The oak doesnt appeared to be oiled either. If the staves have split, there is very little you can do now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
