Minor crack in sink -

I've got a minor crack in the bathroom sink (it's either ceramic or porcelain) that I need to repair. Would a 2 part epoxy resin do this job?
Some only seem to be water resistant and/or not white so would welcome recommendations.
I'm not a DIY expert so the easier the better!
Thanks

Photo of the issue could help.
Likely not possible to fill unless the crack is fairly wide / substantial.
Milliput white would be a potential solution Superfine White Milliput - Specially formulated for the restoration of porcelain and ceramics. It is a 2-part epoxy material.
Proper solution is a new sink, of course.0 -
If it has cracked then the structural integrity is already compromised, even more so if moisture has entered.
Time for a new sink or a loud crash as it shatters.2 -
Bit alarmist methinks.Ayr_Rage said:or a loud crash as it shatters.
I had a cracked sink and it stayed intact for a good period of time while I sourced a replacement for it.
Once lived with a damaged toilet pan with multiple cracks and that also stayed together until I sorted a plumber to change it for a new one, in Avocado (all the rage at that time).1 -
Thanks the crack is definitely superficial and mainly hairline so mainly a case of repairing it.Ayr_Rage said:If it has cracked then the structural integrity is already compromised, even more so if moisture has entered.
