Re: sink not to expensive to put in my kitchen 3Feb 27, 2011 8:56 am Have you checked Bunnings? My husband replaced the sink in our last kitchen with one from Bunnings and it was fine. I must admit I don't really know what makes a "good" sink but one that doesn't sound tinny when the water runs is important to me and the one he put in didn't sound tinny. Anyway I think that sound is stopped by sticking insulation foam under the sink - so not really a big expense? Re: sink not to expensive to put in my kitchen 6Feb 27, 2011 1:45 pm I went on eBay and bought a single laundry tub, nice and deep. Depends if you want a drainer, I didn't, wanted more bench space. Dirty dishes go in the dishwasher. Think i paid $130 and yes it does scratch a bit, but no stains. A friend bought a well known brand and 6 months later its stained badly. Never regretted it.
