New Kitchen sink when can I use it

[Bronwyn04]

I have just had a new kitchen sink installed, and the plumber filled it to the top and told me not to use it for 48 hours to ensure the sealant sets. Told if we use it beforehand, it could move. Is this correct sounds like a long time for the sealant to set.

Sounds like he’s bodged it and not installed the clips tbh the joiner should of fitted it to the new worktop when he cut the hole

Not something I’ve heard of before. Only time I’ve done this is after a bath installation. What is the kitchen sink make & model? Could be in their instructions.

He’s bodged it in with silicone only as Shaun says - will be set after 24hrs. The 48 hours is to give him time to get further away on his horse…
