Sink blanking plug

[jarvis]

We have a ceramic sink with a ceramic blanking plug over the unused hole. I've managed to drop a chopping board on it and cracked the ceramic blanking plug. I've ordered a replacement but wanted to ask - how is this likely to be stuck to the sink, sealant, glue? It feels pretty sold. Which leads to the obvious next question, how do I go about removing it? I was going to try prising it out with a knife or screwdriver but I don't want to crack the sink. Any advice?

Look under it might be on a screw

Looking under all you see is the base of the plug. Do you mean it might be threaded? The replacement I ordered isn't and I didn't see any that were.

No it must be glued in sorry

So any tips on removal?

Sharp chisel and take your time

Really? A chisel to a ceramic sink?! That makes me even more nervous.

From underneath, or the side at the top?

I'd try from side at the top it's broke anyway so what you got to loss just don't break the sink lol famous last works
