Hello,

Something had fallen into the bathroom sink and now the sink has a few
hairline cracks and it is chipped in one place.

I can't afford to replace the sink just yet.

Are there any fillers,repair kits etc that can be used to repair the
sink?

Suggestions please.

It may well be covered on your household insurance.

I've not had cause to use this myself but a friend did- the insurance
company went to some lengths to get a "like for like" replacement.

My insurance company (Directline) has a £50 excess, but when I said I'd fit
it myself, they offered to pay me to do it (only minimum wage) - I said not
to bother, still fitted it myself and never got charged the excess.

They also put me in touch directly with a specialist supplier who managed
to match the existing suite, even though it'd been out of production for
five years!
