Bathroom sink

Posts: 6 Forumite
Whilst trying to fix the screaming motor on side of water tank in my bathroom, my now "ex" girlfriend managed to drop the cupboard panel through the sink. My sink is now in about 50 pieces, and can't seem to find anywhere that sells "old fashioned" sinks. The bathroom suite that was in the house, looks as if it is from 60's-70's, and is a pale green/blue colour.
Any ideas????
Cheers

We took ours out in the 80's :rotfl:

Purely out of interest, are you claiming on insurance for this job? If it's accidental damage then you should be able to, I've replaced under insurance for similar jobs where bottles have dropped into basins in the past.
As for the colour, if it pre-dates those great 1970s colours like pampas, sky-blue and avocado, then I doubt you'll have much joy. The one in Rob's link I think was simply called 'mint green'. The above are still available in limited ranges and at a premium as far as I know, and about to enjoy a revival by all accounts. I had one client whose insurance company replaced the entire suite on the basis that the colour of the damaged bath was discontinued and therefore would not match, got to be worth an ask!
Rob, I'm surprised during the nineties pastel colour party you resisted the urge to install those superbly dull colours like 'Whisper Pink' and 'Champagne'
