Are there any drawbacks to this sink & tap?

The wickes one seems to wipe everything off very easily. We have an ebay tap so that we could have the big professional chef one but not pay £200+ for one!

Hi mutter thanks, glad we got the pull out one now.just hope it is ok.if not it has a years guaruntee on it. I have just panicked and looked on screw fix but tbh don't like it so that's fine!! Also the sink isn't used much or the tap hugely so won't get masses of wear and tear.

Can i just ask for those of you with these or poss any sink do they get sealed round the edge or just dropped in? our current one is just dropped in and fine but just wondered?
Thanks x

There is no sealant visible but i don't know if he sealed underneath before he installed it HTH

Here's a bargain tap, £454.00. That's the type used in kitchens to rinse dishes.

Where?!! I don't think even if i used the sink loads i could justify that much!!

WE got ours for £67 from someone who had bought it in error. Same with the Brita solo filter tap we got for £22!

Bargain!! i have been looking around since i ordered it..(have that annoying habit of finding things afterwards better/cheaper etc!) BUT all the ones i have seen are either more or i just dont like them so am happy..no one post a cheaper one please!!

Another Q is what do you use to clean them with..a few people have said they are harder to keep clean? can't imagine it being black but still?
Thanks x

Fybar that's nice. Which tap/s are you thinking of getting? I am glad in a way ours was with a tap although lots of choices i am useless at making a decision so it kind of narrowed it down for me! We can't have the waste disposal bit either although we don't need it so it's fine!

I've been dancing around the tap question for a while now. We're thinking of these from B&Q - £65

But have just seen these -Franke - £50 reduced from £149- although there's a five week delivery time on these which makes me wonder of the deal is real.
