you want a black one

we have a creamy Corian one (similar) and it gets 'well' (as the young say) manky with limescale

salis hard water too

Enid · 10/06/2005 10:47

michellemcmanus · 10/06/2005 10:48

not stainless steel

that astracast one looks really nice, but not black. ours looks identical it is a sort of flecky cream.

white?

michellemcmanus · 10/06/2005 10:52

Hmm well maybe do you think?

OP posts:
Enid · 10/06/2005 10:54

I would get it

have stupidly ordered 'country living' style butchers sink for utility room and now it is here it is HUGE and looks stupid

Twiglett · 10/06/2005 10:56

shit I really didn't think of limescale (and we live in london) and I have ordered a Franke graphite sink (close to black) ... I thought they would show less than the stainless steel sinks

Enid · 10/06/2005 10:58

FRANKE!

thats it, thats my kitchen sink

it is very nice but verrrrrrry oooooooold and has got quite manky with limescale although i really really try to keep it smooth

Twiglett · 10/06/2005 10:58

got this one .. thought it would look nice against jet black granite

.. it isn't being delivered till next week though (shopped around online and titanic-sinks.co.uk seemed the cheapest HTH)

Enid · 10/06/2005 10:58

well if mine was black it would look horrific by now, sorry twig. As it is cream the limescale doesnt show quite as much.

Twiglett · 10/06/2005 10:59

will have to get that cillit bang stuff and use it I suppose

Kittypickle · 10/06/2005 10:59

I had a black sink in our last house, we weren't there for very long as we moved, but it was a complete nightmare with the limescale and going white. I'm not going to have it again this time round.

Enid · 10/06/2005 11:00

think mine must be Champagne colojur

Twiglett · 10/06/2005 11:06

should I switch to white or stainless steel???

Twiglett · 10/06/2005 11:07

quick help me choose

am panicing now arrrrggggghhhhhh

Twiglett · 10/06/2005 11:08

click on colours what do you think of platinum??

the worktop is going to be black with shiny speckles in it (cosmos / star galaxy granite)

Twiglett · 10/06/2005 11:10

or ivory??

anyone???

oh god I've messed up haven't I?

Enid · 10/06/2005 11:11

yes would think platinum better or even ivory (quite a contrast though) although friend has granite and bright white butlers sink and looks quite good

Kittypickle · 10/06/2005 11:13

Yes, agree the platinum or ivory, but personally I would definitely avoid the black unless you are very into cleaning, which I definitely am not !

michellemcmanus · 10/06/2005 12:54

shit what will I hav then white sink on balck work surface or go for stainless steel which ayt least you can clean

I got another stainless steel franke sink ( nearly went for a graphite one). It stays looking really clean, despite being in a v hard water area. Rediscovering my e cloth has really helped.

Watch out with the cillit bang stuff - discolours stainless steel if left on beyond a minute (my hob bears witness).
