Help! Our pedestal sink broke...

...and we need to replace it. It was a Kohler made of china (I think). My husband dropped something in it and now it has a giant hole. Which leads me to wonder about sinks and sturdiness. Any recommendations or advice? The bathroom is fairly small--current, broken sink is about 22" wide. TIY.

Not sure what your question is. Are looking for recommendations for a pedestal sink that will fit in your space?

Here's a link with some options in the 21-23 inch width, ranging from traditional to modern. If you have room for a 24" wide top, there are many more options.

Thanks for the link! I am looking for recommendations and I can fit a 24" wide sink. I'm worried about having another broken sink, since we have a house full of clumsy people! We have a fireclay sink in the kitchen, which seems much more solid, so I thought maybe a fireclay bath sink was a possibility. After further investigation today though, I wasn't really able to find any fireclay sinks for our size and budget. (both small)

Couple of thoughts:

You might be able to save quite a bit of money by replacing just the top (basin) part if the pedestal part is still OK.

From what I've read, fireclay is more resistant to heat (like draining your boiling spaghetti water into the kitchen sink), but I don't know if it's any more resistant to damage from impact than the other types of sinks.

I sympathize with you on the clutziness. We have a lot of that at our house, too!
