    Stainless steel is worth more than copper. If the sink was stainless steel, then that £5 could easily be turned into £12 with one visit to a scrap metal dealer.
    Add-in a brass tap and that's another £2 into the pot.
    Never Knowingly Understood.

    Is it common for plumbers to just help themselves to kit they remove without asking?

    Yes. Would you prefer they ask you if you want to keep every single little item to list in gumtree for a few poxy quid. Jeez some people are so penny pinching its embarrasing. Southcoastrgi offers some great advice on this forum and is obviously a decent bloke - his post on this subject says it all.

    And you're having a kitchen refit and being serious about docking a fiver from their bill?! Beggars belief.
