I will watch with interest, someone previously installed a round one in mine, made from Moroccan stone with a few fossils in it. This one is useless as a sink, it's too small and sploshes over the edges. Looks ok, but it's practically useless.
I had a mate who imported such things 30 years ago, 90% fossils /10% rock. This one is the other way round so not even a good example.

Are there no markings on it anywhere? Simpson Lawrence comes to mind for some reason. As tomsk asked - what is it made of ?

Lots of plumbers merchants and even the likes of B&Q do very small corner sinks designed for small en suites, would it not be easier to adapt/make a top surface to suit?

Never seen one of that shape TBH, most/all just look like plastic versions of the ones I referred to above, ie domestic.

It must be plastic I think or maybe fibreglass with a gelcoat?

Does not appear to be enamelled steel.

Mr Stabby -

Is it time for a new name yet ?

I get confused. Is it on your own boat? I think it is a Peter Nicholls boat. A well respected canal boat builder. Not sure but I believe he's still in business - might be worth contacting as they may have preferred builders.

I know its quite an old boat.

I've searched for caravan items but that doesn't turn up anything. I presume I will have to re-make the woodwork but was hoping to find a direct replacement.

I'm on the look out for a small sink ready for when the next bout of boat bodging takes place in the winter.
