help cleaning underside of cast iron bathroom sink

20 years ago

Hi folks, I'm a newbie here. DH and I are getting 1 of our bathrooms tiled next week (we have to do this in stages, there are 5 bathrooms in our 1878 QA which was 5 apartments until recently) and had plumber here to take out radiator and the small castiron wallmounted sink. I spent several hours scrubbing the top side of the sink hoping to be able to keep it---its close! After it was removed its clear that there is rust on the bottom underside edges on each side and also around the drain. Is it possible to clean the rust and paint over it with rustoleum or something to keep the rust from flaking off onto the floor, causing further deterioration and keeping it from smearing onto the sides when cleaning? Thanks so much for any suggestions you may have---I've got another sink in the kitchen that is even worse underneath!
