I fancy a ceramic sink when we redo the kitchen. I expected them to be expensive but B&Q have them for a shade over £200 which given the price of some of those bendy plastic things is very reasonable.
Are there any gotchas with ceramic sinks?
They break (or crack or chip) when you drop heavy things into them.
And they are bloody heavy, especially a proper double belfast. What worktop are you using? FWIW I went back to a conventional stainless one when I re-did the kitchen.
It's going in a 'normal' 40mm worktop. It's a drop in type rather than a belfast.
I'm not keen on stainless steel ones, I don't like the bendy plastic ones and we have an enamelled one currently but it's full of chips.
If the ceramic ones chip then it's probably not a good idea, we are a pair of clumsy fekkers.
We will probably go for stainless next time (ghastly inherited placcie a= t =
present). But it is odd how different one s/s sink is from another. Some= =
seem to be almost blue-grey whereas some are more like our cutlery, for = =
example, which is much closer in colour to polished silver. And some sin= ks =
feel almost rough or porous (though I am sure they are not actually goin= g =
to let water through!) - while some are very smooth. Anyone know what =
factors make them vary so much?
