Purcashed an apron style fireclay sink on-line -- brand name Whitehaus purchased through Wayfair. The sink is about seven months old and cracked in a corner while dishes were being washed by hand. It now has a hole the size of a quarter. The sink has a limited lifetime warranty but the manufacturer and Wayfair claim his is not covered. They claim the lifetime warranty is valid up until the time the sink is installed. Anyway, I am inquiring as to whether fireclay sinks fail in general. And also whether it can be repaired without replacement. It is going to be an ordeal getting the existing sink out and a new one in with granite counters in place. Any advice would be appreciated on how to handle this unfortunate situation. I doubt I will buy another sink on-line and certainly won't purchase from Wayfair or Whitehaus. Both company's customer service are really bad.

I might be disappointed with MOEN lifetime warranty. It's been awhile since I've had to invoke it. This weekend my son's model 7065 faucet broke. The cheap quick connectors on part 114307 (never liked those type of connectors) broke off. Since his stroke 2 years ago, he can't do the repair like he use to be able to. Yesterday being Saturday, I tried to call MOEN. Closed for the weekend. Even though the web site says Saturday hours. Tried the web site and all I could due is use the "help" email to tell them I needed a new part. I then decided to look at their lifetime warranty. When did this change or was it always like this? "[color=#c0392b]Moen warrants to the original consumer purchaser for as long as the original consumer purchaser owns their home (the "Warranty Period" for homeowners), that this faucet will be leak- and drip-free during normal use and all parts and finishes of this faucet will be free from defects in material and manufacturing workmanship.... Proof of purchase (original sales receipt) from the original consumer purchaser [b][u]must accompany all warranty claims."[/u][/b][/color] I can buy the replacement part from several third party vendors including HD and Faucetdepot and Amazon among many others (cost range from $13 to about $25). Downside all must ship, no stock on the shelf at local level. So the kid is left without water for the weekend and most of the coming week. My concern is, will they honor the warranty? No we do not have a receipt. No we do not have an exact date of purchase. Yes, he is the original owner, but how can you prove it. Not sure if registered when purchased. I'll keep you posted on the reply from MOEN. What bothers me is that I tout to customers that MOEN is very good about warranty replacement and no need to have a receipt.[left][left][left][left][/left][/left][left][left][/left][/left][/left][left][left][left][/left][/left][/left][/left]
