Hi, I have a crack in my plastic vanity sink for which the dealers are quoting £134.25 for supply only of a new sink. My van is an Elddis Avante 534 2003 model with fixed bed. I have tried a few of the breakers advertised with no luck. Any help appreciated.

Is the crack around the plug hole in a circle, following the outline of the plug outlet?  If so, someone on her suggested fixing it by buying a new chrome waste outlet,  which has a bigger diameter than the crack - there's a posting on this forum somewhere, maybe this might help??

We've got a similar crack but it's not creating a problem at the moment.  Thought of putting some silicone sealer round it.

Sometimes a little rain must fall before you reach a rainbow.

The work will wait while you show the child the rainbow, but the rainbow won't wait while you finish the work.

Hi, thanks for the replies. There are three cracks coming from the plug area upwards approx 1 inch in length each. Have thought about trying to seal up but think it would look awful. Obviously if I can find a replacement I will have no choice but to try and repair but I am hoping there are some caravan breaker people on this forum who may have an alternative.

If you do a search under 'sink' there are lots of other postings, and some of them contain a website which people have used to obtain replacements.  Good luck.

Hi Mooney, Check out www.caravanpanels.com Nr Preston. He will make you a copy in GRP. and does mail order, just send him the sink.
