I've just smashed my toilet sink by accident.
It is about 10 years old. I want to replace it with something similar

The pedestal is fine. If I replace the sink will I have to get a
pedestal that matches (fits) or will most pedestals fit any old sink?

At a guess I'd reckon all pedestals will be unique to each sink but
hopefully I'm wrong.

Cheers.


They're usually sold as a pair. There are many variations in pedestal
design - with different shapes and amounts of flare at the top - often
with
an appropriate indentation in the base of the basin to fit over the
pedestal.

You *may* be lucky, and get a basin which fits your pedestal - but I
wouldn't bank on it.

Try local tips. Often possible to find bits that fit.

Buta new pedestal and basin is not hugely expensive.

Managed to find the exact sink in Homebase. Only problem being that they
don't stock any bathroom / kitchen units so would have to wait 4 - 6 weeks
for delivery. Shocking!!

Ended up buying a "sink to go" that comes complete with a pedestal from B&Q
for £45.

Thanks for the replies.
