Kitchen sink wanted

[Ged McLaren]

Anyone know of good any deals, I need 1.5 bowls in white, plastic or ceramic please ? rhd.

I think you'll find people here very helpful, but they will probably be much more so if you could indicate what research you've done already and what your chief criteria are.

I'm looking for one too - nothing fancy, just something cheap and cheerful just for a utility room.

Ebay? Specify location close to you so you can pick it up and avoid P&P

You don't want a white plastic one - you will regret it.

[Christian McArdle]

Yes. They are surprisingly impractical, much to my surprise. One come with my last house. One of the first DIY things I did to the house was swap with a stainless steel one, as I was spending much more time washing the sink than its contents.

I had the same experience, and replaced my non-white sink with a nice

1.5 bowl Blanco.

Take a marble with you when you go shopping for a sink to check the drop and drainage of the draining board. It's surprising how badly some boards drain, leaving puddles and subsequuent water stains.

Find someone having a new Kitchen fitted and ask for their old one.

Are aluminium sinks difficult to keep clean and shiny ?

The message from "Ged McLaren" contains these words:

I've never seen one, but I'd expect them to be completely and utterly useless.

[Christian McArdle]

No idea. However, stainless steel is relatively easy. Ceramic is OK. Plastic is just about impossible.

Very easy to clean with caustic soda.

Thanks to everyone who took the trouble to reply, a stainless steel sink it is then !

[The Natural Philosopher]

Seconded. Al will discolor permanently at the first hint of any acid - like Coke, Rhubarb, fruit juice..its also not healthy using alkali to clean it either.
