    One of our aluminium sinks has become detached from the underside of the kitchen worktop.


    It looks like it was held in place by some kind of glue/sealer.


    The worktop is made from a composite stone.



    How can I reattach it?


    Many thanks.

    ps. I tried to attach a photo, but I'm getting an error when trying to upload it.

    Is it an undermount sink?

    Yes, it is.


    There are supporting clips on one side only - there isn't room for clips on the other side because of the narrow gap between it and the other sink.


    And that is the side that has come loose.


    Many thanks.

    Most places seem to attach the sink with bondo

    It is normally used to fill car body work.

    If you can set some into the gap and then push the sink upward by jamming a bit of wood up between the two sinks and supporting it until the bondo sets.
