The plumber has just replace my sink. But left this to me. I don’t think a big issue but still I need some advice from you nice people. What material need to buy to cover this up and won’t look ugly. Thanks
Oh dear. The edges need a good filing before you cut yourself on them, for the chip, there is worktop jointing filler called colorfill, put that in any gaps/chips, leave to harden and trim off with Stanley blade. It comes in a range of colours to suit most worktops. Kitfit will have a fit when he sees that.
Unless you fit a chair under there, perhaps you'd be better off fitting two 300 base units back to back to the rest of the island. Otherwise cut a piece of end panel material that matches your kitchen colour just a bit more than wide enough to cover the gap, and glue it up.
Why is the sink cutout that far over the end panel OP ? Obviously the plumber didn't edge the worktop.......................or did he ? Because it don't look like it was done by a kitchen fitter
There is reason for that. Because this side was damp and falling that is why I decide to replace it. The plumber cut all the damp and smelly part off.
I take it then the replacement sink is bigger than the sink it replaced ? As said already, the only real way to hide the cutout is a piece of gloss panel glued up underneath the worktop. I hope your plumber sealed all of the cutout edges ? Otherwise the same thing will happen again.
Sorry i don’t really get you. As kitfit1 mentioned the only way is to find a piece of gloss panel glued up underneath the worktop. So it will not matter how the edges look like. Am I right? Do you agree with kitfit1?
Well it ain’t pretty for sure but realistically, how often and who sees under the worktop ? Maybe when sat in the settee by window I guess You’re not going to achieve a perfect fix and ur probably not going to go to the length and cost of sourcing colour matched end panel to use so, an easy option to tart up and make slightly better; White faced hardboard, readily available and cheap. I would cover the complete overhang instead of just trying to patch up the extended sink cut out 2 pairs of hands, hold up hardboard to overhang and pencil around shape of overhang Now draw a line around 10mm inside 1st pencil mark. Cut to this inner line . You have some tools maybe ? Jigsaw drill would be best for curve and clamp a ‘straight edge’ to make long cuts Sandpaper edges to neaten. Glue in place using a contact adhesive or ‘no nails’ type of adhesive - I would recommend a solvent free adhesive as easier to use, firmly push board into place, use the solvent free adhesive to fill any gaps and smooth any excess away using a damp cloth When dry, you will have a raw edge on show so could either paint white or a bead of silicon Hardboard isn’t going to sit over the sink clips so either cut hardboard out around them or chop bit of worktop out so clips sit flush then fit hardboard This method is a bodge but could either look ok or total s hite, just depends on your skill level tbh, and how fussy you are What was the reason for the cupboard being so badly damaged previousely and so we assume this has now been rectified ? Good luck Re the comments about the chip and rough finish to the curve edge banding ......... guessing this has been like that since fitting and to yourself, isn’t such an issue. With all respects, this isn’t a newly fitted kitchen
Just get a bit of thin board or whatever and stick it on. You could then paint the underside of the worktop so it all 'blends in'.
Thanks very much Professor for your detailed solutions. Yes the old one’s left hand side was damp and smelly and falling that is why has to cut all the section off.
Yes, seriously. That's why I suggested extra units in my original post. As Filly says, you aren't exactly spoilt for choice, unless you'd like to replace the worktop?
Waiting for kools suggestion of dynamite again,,,,,, mind you, not a bad idea in this case That edge banding on the curve, wonder what method was used for ‘trimming’ it ......... ‘fitters teeth’ maybe
Sorry I didn’t quite get the first part (before otherwise...) of your original post (sorry for my poor English). I have to let the plumber cut the bad part as there is no point to keep the damp stinky part any more. I won’t replace the whole thing now because of the cost. I think I just need to get a piece of board to stick it on. Hope it won’t look too bad. Thanks guys.
