who pays ?

What worktop do you have? it looks like a wood worktop that has been stained or varnished and some of it has splashed onto the sink.

The sink gets a clean obviously but maybe we should have been buffing it up with stainless steel cleaner as well

I wouldn't bother justifying yourself to him, he's obviously been on the sauce and has gone to sleep it off.

The builder pays but he may resist and try to polish out the stains. He needs to sort it as your contract is with him, he then has contracts with his suppliers. Its unlikely he will get his labour cost reimbursed but thats his issue with Howdens

Now now Rodney you plo......;) you sent to OP mixed messages about who was responsible without he full details, hence my comments.

Op inspite of how you understood what I said, it was partly tongue in cheek, in could remotely be tea stains.

Rodneys comments about unless it's scratched are also strange. Your sink appears to be brushed S/S, quite coarse too, ie, it is all scratches.

OP, I really do think you have a poor grade stainless sink, as I said earlier they do oxidise dependent on grade. Howdens are the cheap end remember, you could have issues as long as you have the sink.

Mixed messages?

Dan said he paid and then later provided more information to clarify the situation. Hence my advice changed, yet you come on here having a go.

I still don't see you explaining where I was wrong so it's maybe time for you to bow out and stop digging

You need to first try a cleaner such as a chrome cleaner or a specific stainless steel cleaner, small particles of metal from the machines can be left behind in the manufacturing process and these particles rusting are often the cause. Brillo pads are another cause.

And that is why I pointed out to others, get the tea on 'unc.

You haven't commented on the scratches bit? ie, brushed equates to scratches.

Me bow out? why? Post accurate advice and then I will, but until then......................

Battle on if you want to argue but here is an olive leaf. I'm gone and won't post again, unless you insult me of course.

I see you chose to ignore #20, no surprise there.

OP have you used brillo pads to clean it ? (be honest), because it's scratched on the edge & the drainer.
If not then it's the builders prob both labour & replacement

It's not scratched Keith, it's a brushed top that is rusting/oxidising in the troughs. Crap s/s as said

Howdens = MFI= cheap as can be
