Damaged bathroom sink

[The Wanderer]

A substantial chunk at the side of my bathroom sink broke off into two large and about 4 splinter pieces after a cup fell from the shelf above it. Is there an adhesive which I can get hold of in an effort to glue it back together?

I have tried getting a replacement and bought one from an auction site. The trouble is I thought the colour was Avocado but the one that arrived was a shiny version but mine is more like a matt coloured avocado. I came across a site yesterday where there was a similar coloured suite but was described as avocado champagne or Savannah.

Can someone help me out here please?

Should be cover by Accidental Damage in your buildings insurance. Let the repairer find one.

It's not covered - anyone with more suggestions please?

Many years ago I was trying to find a loo to match an existing bath/basin I came across a web page that specialised in match old(er) colours. I think is was on the site of a manufacturer. I've just checked the pan and it is a Twyfords.

Might just be worth searching for the manufacturer of your suite.

Also even if your insurer won't pay you might still be able to use the services of a repairer/plumber who does insurance type work. You can be sure that insurers will want to avoid coughing up for a whole new suite unless they have to.

Good luck
