Shedifice Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 Hi, On the weekend our 2019 707 roller team bathroom sink plug failed. it has cracked all the way round the waste fitting. the waste is quite heavy so I think it was a fatigue failure. I suspect its a custom rollerteam sink. I will give it a go of repairing it with some fiberglass and resin but if that fails does anyone know if this is a commercial sink? I have googled but not found it for sale anywhere. or alternatively is there a supplier of standard MH sinks so I can change it for something more sturdy?

Labby Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 Have a look at www.caravanpanels.com they may be able to help with a sink for your Motorhome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Kirby Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 Have you tried contacting your nearest Roller Team dealership (there are quite a few in UK) to see if spares are available? It's likely that a similar design would have been used in a number of different vans, so direct replacements, albeit possibly direct from the firm who originally produced the item, may still be available. Probably not the cheapest solution, but probably the simplest and the most likely to succeed in the longer term. Your second picture (of the underside of the wash basin) suggests it is not of GRP, so I'm dubious that a GRP repair would succeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Uzzell Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 This video suggests that the same washbasin is still being fitted to Auto-Roller 707 models. The basin is probably a thermo-formed thin plastic moulding, but a DIY glass-fibre repair MIGHT work (at least for the short term). There are relevant on-line adverts - GOOGLE on "motorhome sink repair". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtravel Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 The material is almost certainly plastic ABS, some tutorials on possible repairs should be available on the internet. Never seen one like it, it is probably a custom product requested by the brand. I am not sure but since the brand is Italian, the sink could be made by Tecnoform ( https://www.tecnoform.com/ ).

Fred Duck Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 The similar thin plastic moulding did exactly the same on our Bessacarr a few years ago. Swift wanted something like £1800 for a replacement unit with a long lead time - although it did include a new tap unit that we didn't need. Caravan Panels provided an exact replacement unit in a much more robust fibre glass for around £120 and delivered in two days. Fitted in a couple of hours and it continues to do what it's supposed to. FD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve hill Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Afraid this is a common fault on sinks( not just rollerteam). I have repaired mine with epoxy( not pretty) on my 707. Quoted £485 for a new one - mad. On my old Swift van I was able to get a "copy" that was much better made, cheap, and lasted over 15 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
