Leaking sink in bathroom

Would it not be better to replace the split pipe?

Presumably as there are no vehicle details it isn't under warranty'. I had a leak repaired under wrranty.

Would it not be better to replace the split pipe?

Write your comments here...It's not the pipe Tinwheeler it's the actual sink in the showeroom, I seem to think the pipe has caused it by being to tight if that makes sence.

No warrenty now I'm afraid.

Dredging  up  facts / memories  from  the  not --too  distant  past.  There  are  at  least  two  firms  that  claim  to  repair  shower  trays  -- specifically  splits  caused  by  badly / inaccurately  fitted  plug-holes  and  pipes.

From  what  I  recall  the  majority  of  splits  are due  to  the  pipe  not  being   square  on  to  the  fitting  and  thus  putting  sideways  pressure  on  what  is,  by  its  very  nature  a  weak  area.  I  will  try  to  find  more  details  but  it  won't  be  for  10  days  or  so,  alas.

Write your comments here... That would so helpful thank you and you are right it does seem to be the pipe that has caused the problem

Bite the bullet, contact this company http://www.caravanpanels.com/ and have a fiberglass copy made and you will never have any more problems.

The problem is that most van bathroom furnature is made from thermo-formed plastic, this invoves heating up a sheet of plastic and stretching it over a mold, this can result in some very thin plastic that is bound to crack, in other words its a load of rubbish to keep the profit up and the costs down.

Had this happen in our last van after over enthusiasticly putting the bung in.Ended up taking half the bathroom out and fixing it from underneath with fibreglass and using a white gel coat to fill the crack in the sink.

Yes Mike we have had to do the same OH has fitted a bracket underneath to take the weight of the sink and to stop it moving around while on the move, has worked so far but will make a note of the web site Doug has suggested just in case. Thank you everyone
