Help! Ruined bathroom sink

Tippytoes

Hi all

I need some urgent advice before my OH finds out! I've just dropped a sharp/heavy item in the bathroom sink and it's chipped the ceramic glaze. :eek: Couple of questions. Will the chip get any bigger? Is there anything I can use to "patch it up" without it looking patched-up? It's an ordinary white ceramic sink.

Thanks.

It's really quite hard to patch without it being obvious.

I'd take the option I would have done as a child. Engineer a complex situation in my head, involving a pet (if you have one), friend (who your OH doesn't know too well), or possibly act of god, and then absolve all blame that way.

Claim it on your house insurance if you have accidental damage or see if you can get a replacement sink from ebay or local hardware store.

I doubt it'd be worth a house insurance claim on a standard white ceramic sink.

I'm aware of some kind of sink repair kit, never used one but I'm sure you'd be able to find one on screwfix/ebay or similar. Might be worth trying before you go down the route of replacement.
(but I really really like Cybergibbon's suggestion)

Try 'Milliput', which is available from art supply shops. It will not be invisible though.
