    What to do with holes in stainless steel sink?
    I have small pin-holes in my stainless steel sink! I do not know how it got there or if I can repair it. Please I need advice on what to do, or if I should just replace sink. It is only 3 years old.

    If you know the brand, I would contact their service department. If you don't know the brand, I'd replace it. I will say, however, I have never seen a 3 yr old SS sink that was used for household use get pinholes in it.

    It is obviously manufacturer's defect. I would not go for repair. I would insist on replacing it. In any case, depending on what brand name of sink you have, s.s. sinks may be very inexpensive and are relatively easy to install. Milo

    I agree, I know of no good way to repair, and any sink should last more than 3 years ( unless some chemicals are being poured down the sink)
