How to paint over asbestos paint under drainage board?

Hi Everyone,

 

I have a asbestos inspection done for my house and identified the black paint under the drainage board to contain asbestos.

I'm thinking of painting over it to seal it. 

What sealant/primer/paint is suitable for the job? How would I go about it?

I've not done much painting at all.

Thanks @Nailbag I'll keep an eye out. If I find a slightly larger one I would need to make the cut out bigger? Would the plumber be able to do that? I don't have the tools let alone skills for it 😂

Thanks @JacobZ , I'm happy to go with a different configuration, anything with drainer on the right would be fine.

This unit is a bit over my budget, althought I should be able to reuse it for the new kitchen.

Since this one has not tap hole, the plumber would need to cut it?

Yes @wintersnow911 any plumber would be able to modify the opening. It’s a pretty common task for them typically using a jigsaw.

Hi @wintersnow911,

 

Yes, the plumber would need to cut the tap hole.

 

Any licenced plumber should be able to do this fairly easily.
