Can I paint my basin to hide the crack repair?

Hi all,

I had a crack in the wash basin, however I filled up the crack with PC-11 Epoxy white color as advised in one of the other postings on this forum. 

 

Now I want to check if there's a way I can white paint my basin to hide this crack?

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks,

 

MK

Re: Wash Basin Repair / Paint

Hello @mk1

 

Once you've filled all the damages in your basin, I suggest waiting for the filler to cure. Once the filler is hard you can sand it down so that it will be at the same level as the surface of the basin. Please make sure to prepare and clean the surface before you paint it with the White Knight 500ml White Tub And Basin Paint

 

Here is a handy step-by-step guide: How to paint a bath ( the steps mentioned are applicable to your basin project )

 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.

Thanks @EricL for your advise, I am sure its cheaper than replacing the basin itself.

 

Its been few days I have applied the epoxy, and there is no water traces on the bottom, so no leakage.

 

Will share the results.

 

Regards,

Hi @mk1

 

I'm glad the epoxy sealer worked out. If you run into any other issues, please don't hesitate to post a question.
