Bathroon sink

Our bathroom sink shattered last night, it has been cracked for ages but we were busy trying to ignore it. I want to try to replace it, at least temporarily without having to re do the whole bathroom. The major problem is that it is a light green colour. Does anyone have any ideas where I might find a simillar replacement.

Commiserations Rosa. My guess would be that you'd be best off trying one of the salvage yards. http://www.holyroodarchitecturalsalvage.com/ or http://www.easy-arch-salv.co.uk/.

There also used to be a slightly more chaotic salvage yard out on the coast road just past Musselburgh. I can't remember the name and don't know if it is still there. Perhaps someone else on here will know?

I think it's Sam Burns just outside Prestonpans you are thinking about, Marya.
I've not been in it for a while but I'm sure its still open.
They've got a webpage

That's the one SD. It looks much more organised these days!

Thanks for suggestions - no luck so far- Just for the record the sink is pistachio not avocado!

Oh Rosa - you're only about 11 years too late! We had a pistachio bathroom suite in our last house.....sorry!

We have been in this house more than eleven years and the bathroom suite must have been in for at least 11 years before that. I was just hoping to make it last anoher 11 years before we changed it. Sadly this isn't going to be the case. I have had many conversations today and now know more about discontinued sanitary wear than a person should ever know.

I assume you have done some online research? We had a similar problem a few years back and I managed to find a company that specialised in discontinued lines. Can't remember the name but I'm sure it wouldn't be difficult to find. You can usually find make/model details stamped somewhere on the sink.
