## Abstract

The invention relates to a sanitary basin molded part, for example a kitchen sink, a washbasin or a shower tray, having a main part (10) which has the shape of the sanitary basin molded part and ensures the mechanical stability thereof, characterized in that on the visible side of the sanitary basin molded part a covering layer (20) is arranged in at least one surface region on top of the main part (10), which covering layer comprises a fibrous tissue (24) saturated with a cured binding agent. The invention further relates to a method for producing a sanitary basin molded part of this kind.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A sanitary basin molded part (1), such as, for example, a kitchen sink, a wash basin or a shower tray, comprising a main body (10) in the shape of the sanitary basin molded part (1) and providing the mechanical stability of the sanitary basin molded part (1), characterized in that at least one covering layer (20) comprising a fiber fabric (24) impregnated with a cured binding agent is disposed in at least one surface area on top of the main body (10) on the visible side of the sanitary basin molded part (1).

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The sanitary basin molded part (1) according to claim 1, characterized in that the main body (1) is manufactured from a composite material comprising a polymerized cured binding agent embedded with fillers.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The sanitary basin molded part (1) according to claim 1, characterized in that the covering layer (2) is disposed over the entire surface of the main body (10) on the visible side of the sanitary basin molded part (1).

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The sanitary basin molded part (1) according to claim 1, characterized in that the covering layer (20) has a thickness, which is less than 35%, in particular, less than 30% and preferably less than 25% of the thickness (12) of the main body (10).

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The sanitary basin molded part (1) according to claim 1, characterized in that the fiber fabric (24) is displaced within the covering layer (20) off-center in relation to the thickness of the covering layer (20).

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The sanitary basin molded part (1) according to claim 1, characterized in that the thickness (34) of the fiber fabric (24) is less than 20%, in particular, less than 15% and preferably less than 10% of the thickness (12) of the main body (10).

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The sanitary basin molded part (1) according to claim 1, characterized in that the covering layer (20) on the visible side of the sanitary basin molded part (1) has a water-repellant layer (28).

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The sanitary basin molded part (1) according to claim 1, characterized in that the fiber fabric (24) of the covering layer (20) includes carbon fibers, in particular, that the fiber fabric (24) is made of carbon fibers.

### Claim 9

A method for manufacturing a sanitary basin molded part (1), such as, for example, a kitchen sink, a wash basin or a shower tray, comprising a main body (10) in the shape of the sanitary basin molded part (1) and providing the mechanical stability of the sanitary basin molded part (1), wherein at least one covering layer (20) is disposed in at least one surface area on top of the main body (10) on the visible side of the sanitary basin molded part (1), and the covering layer comprises a fiber fabric (24) impregnated with a cured binding agent, and wherein the main body (10) and the covering layer (20) are manufactured separately and subsequently connected to one another by attaching the covering layer (20) to the surface of the main body (10) corresponding to the visible side of the sanitary basin molded part (1) and connecting it to the main body (10).

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The method according to claim 9, characterized in that the covering layer (20) is applied to the surface of the main body in the form of a not yet cured semi-finished product, in particular, in the form of a prepreg, and is connected to the former and, in the process, the covering layer (20) is also cured.

### Claim 11 (depends on 9)

The method according to claim 9, characterized in that the main body (10) is manufactured by molding a molded part, in particular, by cast molding.
