You will need the following materials to fix a cracked bathroom sink:

A clean cloth
A mild detergent
A bucket of water
A sponge
A putty knife
A tube of epoxy resin

2. Clean the sink

Before you can begin repairing the crack, you need to clean the sink. Use the clean cloth dampened with the mild detergent to wipe down the sink. Rinse the sink with the bucket of water and then dry it with the sponge.

3. Prepare the epoxy resin

Put on the pair of gloves. In the mixing bowl, combine the epoxy resin and the hardener according to the manufacturer's instructions. Stir the mixture until it is well combined.
