I suspect I already know the answer to this question, but ...
I have an American Standard sink with what appears to be a casting / finishing issue on the bottom surface of the sink where the drain hole is formed. It appears there's a bubble or void in the surface that allows water to leak past the rubber spud washer on the bottom of the pop-up assembly (the washer extends about half-way between the hole and the edge of the surface). Is a replacement sink the only "correct" solution, or can this defect be sanded out or otherwise dealt with? I don't relish the idea of gooping this up with silicon or plumber's putty as that seems like a hack.
This is an undermount sink that was attached by the counter top fabricators so it will likely be a bit of a pain to pull it and replace it.
