This is a quick and easy tutorial on how to repair an undermount sink clip failure. There's no need to pay a couple hundred dollars for a simple $20 fix.

Thanks for the info on those clips. Just another quick tip: you can also put masking tape around the sink...just below the upper lip.......and also around the inside of the granite edge. That way, when the silicone squeezes out, you can take a swipe around with a putty knife to clean off the excess......the remove the tape to get a nice, goop-free line, on the sink AND the granite.

Thank you for this video as I have this exact problem. Matter of fact, these same clips (the new ones used for the repair), shown in video, were used by the contractor to install the sink about 6 years ago. Two of them fell out recently so it looks like I may be fixing others down the road as there are about 6 total.

You've got to drop the sink, clean the flange, resilicone, and reinstall the sink. Topical silicone is nearly useless; it must go between the flange and stone bottom.

How do you drop the sink without removing the pipes? Do you need TWO contractors for this job? (One for removing the plumbing, and another for reinstalling the sink?)

@jfrt2059 4 года назад

Hi what is the name of the brackets that you used? Where can I buy the mixtures? Thank you.

What is the name of those clips?

@morodshah3557 6 лет назад

Having the same problem. But the under-mount surface is wood. Does the epoxy still work/adhere to wood surfaces?

@newstwome 6 лет назад

Morod Shah I would look at the instructions and guidance on the epoxy of your choice.

What caulk sticks to stainless steel sink and granite for around the inside edge?

Did you have any trouble securing the clip with all that epoxy pouring through the holes on the clip? I'm facing a similar problem with a kitchen sink and this looks like the best solution, but wondered if the excess epoxy through the holes was going to keep me from adequately tightening the clip.

@newstwome 7 лет назад

James Kaihatu You need the epoxy to come through the holes. that helps with securing the clip system. After he dried completely, per directions, I broke off a few of the pieces and tightened the wing nut down. No issues and the sink is holding tight. You could always take a putty knofe and smooth over some that oozes through the holes to a 1/4 level across the bracket.

@jameskaihatu277 7 лет назад

Thanks. I tried JB Weld and it was just too runny. I will have to find some epoxy paste.

@TheIndianscout 6 лет назад

Would any epoxy work for this??

@TheIndianscout 6 лет назад

Are the clips and epoxy still holding up?How long has it been since you installed them?

@newstwome 6 лет назад

TheIndianscout Still holding and was installed the date of this video

@TheIndianscout 6 лет назад

Craig McKee Thanks for the reply .I just installed today waiting for it to dry.Did you have problems with the epoxy covering the threads for the wing nut?

@newstwome 6 лет назад

No. I was just careful to wipe off anything that could have impeded the next step.

@TheIndianscout 6 лет назад

Craig McKee ok thanks

@usulnet1386 7 лет назад

Thanks, ran into the same issue although the underside of my granite does have 1/4 inch threads in it so not sure if I need to go the epoxy route or if the screws are enough. Absolute Mickey Mouse job by the contractor though, shameful.
