How to Prevent Your Sink From Cracking and Chipping
Although the process of fixing a cracked porcelain sink is relatively straightforward, it’s not a project you want to do more than once.
How can you prevent cracks and chips?
• Avoid extreme temperature fluctuations. If you’ve been running hot water in your sink, abruptly switching to cold will shock the surface area and could cause a stress crack.
• If your drain is clogged, use a drain cleaner product. Don’t pour boiling water down the drain as the spill-over could cause unnecessary stress on the porcelain and lead to cracks.
• Keep the soap dispenser, hairdryer, and any other heavy objects a safe distance away from your sink.
• If you are remodeling or moving heavy items, put a protective barrier such as thick cloth around your sink to protect it from bumps and scratches.
