FRANKE Sink - Best Price

Alli1971

I want to order a FRANKE Opera sink and am happy to order off the net if I get the best price but not having ordered this type of thing before do not know "best" or "reputable" sites to use. Suggestions welcome.

Also, I need a rough idea of how much I should be paying to have a sink installed - in same place as existing one.

Thanks

We ordered a Franke LSX Laser & Moselle Tap from www.titanic-sinks.co.uk

They were the best price at the time, communicated well, & everything arrived exactly when they said it would. What more can you ask.

We got our Franke sink from sinks-taps.com. Arrived quickly in mint condition and at a good price. Would use again.

We bought our sink in our last house from www.yor-appliances.co.uk. They're part of a group that includes a company that sells John Lewis (the department store) kitchens direct from the factory. We saved a fortune on our Carolina kitchen and it looked stunning!

At that house we bought our sink, taps, worktop and kitchen from them and all were absolutely fine.

They are charging £219 delivered for OPX651 so are not the cheapest. I see that 1st Call Appliances are selling for £199 delivered (found via Kelkoo) but I've never used them. www.sinks-taps.com currently have a sale and free delivery offer and £187 for the OPX651. www.sink-shop.com are charging £170.17 for the sink but are charging £9.95 delivery making their total 180.12. However, the cheapest I can find is www.taps-online.com who have both the LH and RH drainer sinks for £177.65 delivered.

If you already have a 1.5 bowl sink with the drainer the same side then the work to replace the sink is simple if the cut out is the same. However, if your previous sink required a larger cut out then you've got problems as the worktop hole will be too large. If it's smaller then the fitter will need to cut the hole to match the new template. There's some work doing the connections but most taps use flexible hoses so a position slightly left or right shouldn't be an issue. If everything is the same and no worktop cutting is required then I'm guessing you'll pay around £60 for them to be swapped over so long as you have isolating valves on your pipes. Anything more complicated then the price will rise.
