I have rust near the overflow hole on my bathroom sink. How do I fix ?

Try making a paste of cream of tartar and lemon into a paste and apply to the rust.

use light sandpaper to smooth and pull up some of the discoloration then spray with enamel paint for car repair. Be careful to match the "white" color of your sink.

You can use naval gel to remove the rust and then lightly sand the edge and use sink and appliance touch up epoxy paint. Should last 3-5 years. Repeat same if it returns.

Share your thoughts!Use Mr. Clean magic eraser.

I would clean the area well then lightly sand and use the proper paint that you can purchase at the nearby paint or home improvement store

Check with your hardware store for a rustoleum product just right for enamel/cast iron tubs and sinks. Sand to remove the rust and paint over it. Easy and less expensive than replacing the sink.

Clean it, CLR works great for me.

Use liquid CLR (Calcium Lime Rust) remover from any home improvement center with an abrasive pad or steel wool. When finished use either white nail polish or clear if you can't get it to match. It will stop it from re-rusting for a long time.

Navel gelly is good and sanding it with wet dry automotive paper all the way into the lip of the overflow as far as you can. When painting take a small artist brush and try to paint over the lip into the overflow void to help keep it brom coming back . Best of luck, with results.

No problem, sometimes it's the little things that can make all the difference and usually be sitting right there around us.

Steel wool to clean off the rust to get a clean metal surface... then use the porcelain repair paint to touch up the effected area. You can spray it 1st with a rust inhibiting primer first... just tape off the area to prevent overspray.

I recommend using Rust-Oleum 7860519 Tub and Tile Refinishing 2-Part Kit, White

Sand spot. Then use White-Out, a liquid corrector that is used for typed mistakes. Staples should have it in different colors.

never happened to me.

Whink Rust Remover will remove it quickly

Epoxy paint.

WD-40 will get rid of rust. then seal otherwise it will return. Rustoleum or Hammerite will cover Rust.

There is probably rust in the water sitting in the overflow and it keeps leaking out the hole. Use a squeeze bottle with some vinegar or other rust cleaner to flush out the rusty water then you can touch up with appliance spray paint or something like that.

You could use WD40 to remove the rust, but it will still leave you with a damaged and worn surface in that area. I think I would replace the sink or find a way to cover the area. Maybe a plastic cover stuck in place or even paint that area using a rust covering paint such as Rustoleum?
