How to repair bathroom sink?

Is it possible to repair a hole in a bathroom sink.

My teenager dropped a bottle into the sink and caused the damage.  Really hoping to fix myself rather than costly plumbing bills.

Re: bathroom sink repair.

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @ElB. It's terrific to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about repairing a sink.

Given the size of the hole and the extent of the damage shown in your photos, unfortunately, there's nothing I can think of that would allow you to successfully repair this sink. Even if you had all the broken pieces, the damage is structural, which means it’s not just about patching a surface crack. Gluing the pieces back together wouldn’t provide the strength or watertight seal needed for a functioning bathroom sink. In this case, your best option would be to look at replacing the sink entirely. That said, you will likely need a licensed plumber to disconnect and reconnect the plumbing for the new sink, especially to ensure it’s sealed correctly and complies with local plumbing regulations.

 

If you were looking for a sink in a similar style, then the Paco Jaanson 500mm Wall Mounted Basin ECE3039 would be an option. Alternatively, you could take the opportunity to upgrade to a cabinet sink, such as the Estilo 600mm Vanity With Semi-Recessed Basin And 1 Tap Hole, which would be more budget-friendly than the wall-mounted sink and provide additional storage space.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
