I am hoping to source a sink to replace my B&Q Cooke and Lewis Canterbury sink which has developed a crack. Its 3 years old so not under warranty.
B&Q are unable to source one and I have tried the top hits on google for 'discontinued sinks' as well as gumtree/ebay.
Any ideas where I can find one?
Thanks

Not sure I'd be rushing to replace it with like for like. Do you want to be going through this again in 3 years. Does it really have such a short warranty? IKEA sink warranty is 25 years. I'd be trying to make something else fit.
Why get the same thing again - just get something that fits the hole you've got. Have a look at Franke sinks.
B&Q are unable to source one
Cooke and Lewis is B&Q's own brand so another retailer wouldn't be able to get one for you - that ebay link looks like your best bet - confirm with them that its actually the same make (as he's being coy about it and it make you wonder how he's come to have them)
Hi,
Should have said I have found that sink on Ebay previously. Its the correct sink but they are refusing to post it to me as they are scared it will get broken enroute. Ive suggested the courier collection etc etc. No joy there. Ive begged them.
It has to be the same one as it fits onto a unit otherwise I'd basically nee to change the ensuite.
Craig
go pick it up then?
I'd be surprised if that was the only basin that fits the unit. If you are set on it you might have a bit more luck googling 'basin' rather than 'sink'
No joy there. Ive begged them.
When I've not been able to travel somewhere to do something (in my case take some photos of something) I've been lucky in asking people on this forum that are local to do it for me.
I know its a bit more onerous than taking some snaps but... why not ask someone on here local to the seller to collect in person and drop off round the corner at a courier drop point.
I doubt B&Q make them. When I speced a bathroom upgrade a few years ago it seemed that there were very few designs that most of the companies sold (a lot even used the same pictures). Pricing was all over the place with the same bath (for instance) on sale on 2 different sites with one asking half the price of the other.
Back to your replacement, measure the dimensions and find a sink that will fit. Suspect it will be easy. Or put a work top onto the unit and fit any sink.
