Hi All,

Any recommendations on places to purchase a new sink from? Been looking at the usual B&Q and Wickes, but they look cheap and flimsy.

Found one online by Austen & Co at sinks.co.uk but anyone bought one from somewhere else and would recommend? We want a stainless steel, and max budget is around 200.

Currently DIY upgrading our kitchen, and any help would be appreciated or brands to avoid.

At that price point you are probably best looking at DIY kitchens and Howdens etc

We've had two sinks from Howdens this year and chose Franke as they seemed a lot thicker than some of the others, pleased with their durability.

We got a Sauber from Plumbworld for the utility and a Verossi from House of Verossi for the kitchen.

The Sauber is good but fairly generic, whereas the Verossi is very thick steel and has big rubber pads and that helps stop the hollow echoing sound you sometimes get from stainless sinks, much better quality.

EBAY, FB marketplace, Amazon resale

Usually plenty of bargains to be had if you are not in a rush and happy to travel.

Our Utility sink was £58 and was "acceptable" as Amazon thought someone had drilled an extra tap hole on the other side......this was for the plug switch!
