The sink fell out of the bathroom cabinen. I saw online they put clips to install. Mine didn't have clips only glue and I don't even know what kind of glue to use.
Two part epoxy is your best bet. You will need to remove the p trap because while the glue is drying you need to hold the sink up against the counter. To do this you will need a 2x4 to go across the opening with a hole in it to run a run down and clamp it on the bottom and top tightly to hold the sink till the epoxy cures. You could also use silicone glue but 2 part epoxy will hold it better
Definitely go with the epoxy .
Are there bolt holes underneath for the clips? You usually use silicon caulk or 2 part epoxy to glue it in, but that looks like someone did plain ole plumbers putty. Who did the installation when you brought the stone slab? I would first call them to repair their work. If thats not possible this video explains putting it back in, but first i would scrape that old caulk, putty off, clean it with alcohol, then I would glue the new anchors you got onto the granite underneath if there were no drilled holes present with epoxy. Let them set, then apply the caulk or epoxy around the edge of the cleaned sink, push it up into place, and screw the clips in place. Make sure it's centered in the hole evenly, clean any caulk/epoxy off the bowl. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcdjnu5eMLA
I agree! With no clips two part epoxy would be the best. Clean off as much of the old adhesive as you can.
Have a competent handy man install some clips or call the company who did the installation and complain. They should fix it right.
It should be caulked from the underside, not the top.
there is no lip on the sink so will clips even work?
this happened to my stainless steel kitchen sink and the sink even bent in the middle a bit. We used some adhesive, and then made a permanent brace by making some copper tubing braces that stay there permanently. It does interfer in putting some nice drawers under there, but the sink will never fall down again, breaking the pipes. There was not room for 2x4-a much cheaper solution and 1x1 were too flexable. This was from our originally builder and those granite people are no where to be found-no clips slots in the bottom side of the granite.We made 3 rectangle braces and after sliding them under the sink edge we slid thin pieces of wood under the copper to made it as tight as possible.
Just buy some good 2-part epoxy for stone products, and clean the underside with alcohol first.
