Different types of kitchen sink pros and cons

When we redid our kitchen went with a Blanco single bowl stainless steel undermounted sink. It's great as you can just "sweep" all the crumbs straight in. The single bowl is as big as both bowls in 1.5 bowl sink and I think more practical.

It wouldn't really put you off a house though, would it?

I think our grotty Belfast is around number 57 on the list of horrible things in this place, but probably number 1 in the list of unhygienic features.

Its days are numbered, but sadly, I won't have the pleasure of smashing it to smithereens with a club hammer, because I know some wally will pay me ££ for it on ebay.

Maybe you should speak to my wife.

I fitted a ceramic sink 8 years ago and love it.

gaps around the sides of the sink...

that is nothing to do with the sink, it just reflects poor workmanship of the fitter! My kitchen was fitted by a local self-employed chippie, and he cut everything to precise size. No gaps anywhere.

That would depend.......if it was an otherwise lovely kitchen, new, expensive etc, and the house was priced to match, then yes.

If it was a tatty , old kitchen that needed replaced and the house price reflected this, then no.

As the former is the case most of the time, then I would be unlikely to consider the house.

Fortunately all academic as we built our present house 27 years ago and are still happy with it.

Yes, and that's what I was getting at.
