Our home was built around 1900. I have three bathrooms that are original to the house (5 gallon toilet tanks attached to wall, with shutoff valve inside tank!). The sinks are 24 inch Crane Pedestal sinks and for the most part, lovely.
Our entrance "powder room" has a "soft yellow" Crane Pedestal sink and it is starting to leak from the "pop up" drain pipe, which is exposed in the back of the sink.
I've been told the sink needs to be replaced, however, due to the age of my bathroom, this will snowball into a whole bathroom renovation. The sink is an odd soft yellow color as are the toilet and the wall tiles. If I get a white sink, the toilet won't match but replacing the toilet means re-plumbing the whole thing and re-tiling once the tank is taken off the wall!
Is there a way to repair the slow leak coming from the water exiting my sink and dripping down the back of the sink? Or do I need to replace the sink?
Thanks
