Hello @QxDONG 

I suggest using Selleys 300g Clear Wet Area Waterproof Silicone Sealant on your sink. You can either remove the sink clips and raise your sink so that you can apply the silicone under the sink edge, or you can just apply it on the edge of the sink without takin it apart. Technically it would be much better to have the silicone under the sink rather than just sealing the edges from above.

If you have any other question we can help with, please let us know.

Thank you Eric,

To lift it up, Do.I need to disconnect iy from the drain?

Hello @QxDONG 

Just the top part of the drain, there is no need to disassemble the plumbing underneath.

Sorry, a bit confused. Shall I only release the clips and life the sink up slightly and do sealant?

Hi @QxDONG 

If there is enough flex in your plumbing fittings then you should be able to lift the sink put a bead underneath. You also have the option of removing the plug and waste assembly of the sink which will allow you to lift the sink even further. The choice is up to you.
