small crack in hand basin

We have a recently purchased (last year actually) 2013 Troll 540 and I have notices small cracks in the bathroom sink - do we need to replace it or can it be repaired? The sink is not leaking or anything like that - they are hairline cracks. I dont know what caused it though we did have a very hot spell this summer for a couple of weeks.

If not leaking then I would not worry about any action at present. I would however try and get a stock code for a replacement if/when one is needed.

Mouth wash can cause the plastic basin to breakdown. It's the alcohol content that attacks it.

As previously mentioned if its not leaking shouldnt worry but if they are hairline cracks then you could use this https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=w...zaqgeUTau2XGRkM.
