Being a handyman at home and a do-it-yourself kind of guy is something that every man of the house is certainly proud of.
Who wouldn't want to be the one who is able to solve simple problems at home that would leave others scratching their heads or frustrated with their inability to provide the right answers or solutions? To be the one to solve the little problems that usually show up at home is a point of pride for many.
Whatever the skill that's needed, a handyman should be able to handle the situation, without resorting to getting the services of a professional.
If you are able to do it yourself, then you can surely save some money that could then be put to other use.
One of the most common skills needed at home is that of a plumber.
Whether you are a handyman who is able to fix the simplest and smallest plumbing issues would determine whether you could help in saving money that would have been paid to a professional.
So what would you do if your sink happens to be broken? If your sink is broken, then you have a chance of becoming the handyman and DIY guy who can add plumbing to your own list of accomplishments and capabilities.
Aside from the feeling of fulfillment and accomplishment, you also no longer need to waste time and money to go and get someone else to do it.
Here are a few tips on how you could actually repair your sink on your own:

• The first step would be to clean the surface of the sink with the use of a sponge and warm water.
  Use the sponge to scrub the surface and then a dry piece of cloth should be used for wiping it off.
  After wiping it off, you should try to air dry for several minutes more just to make sure that it is completely dry when you work on it to be repaired.
  Just to be sure that no moisture is left; you should only start working on it after no less than 10 minutes after wiping the whole surface off.
  
• If the damage to the sink is in the form of a crack, then apply some epoxy on a small paintbrush and then try to apply it carefully to the cracked part or area of the sink.
  Now if you want to do it with a little less of a mess than you would surely have when making use of even a small paintbrush, then you can make use of a toothpick to make sure that there isn't as much mess during the completion of the job.
  
• But if you are dealing with a chip then you need to do it differently, and it can be done by placing several layers of epoxy and then allowing it to dry completely before any new layer is added on.
  
• To clean up any excess epoxy that might be around the damaged part that you have just fixed, make use of a damp piece of sponge, specifically its corner.
  One full day should be allowed for the complete drying of the epoxy.
  After that, you can paint over the part that you have repaired.
