Gwyllt .... What a beautiful shine. It certainly doesn't look 18 years old!

This is the closest I could see to mine on their website
www.rangemaster.co.uk/products/rangemaster-stainless-sinks/cosmo/4251 its definitely the same shape etc mine just has a square plug rather than the round.

Thank you FlexibleFriend. That's the point they have new ones coming out all the time. It looks lovely though.

I had a white sink when I first moved in but I never liked it and it never looked clean even if I scrubbed it. I had a new kitchen installed and had a stainless steel sink. I've never regretted it and use a sink mat to protect it. There are many different sorts on the market.

Moonwatcher1904 ..... I think there's pros and cons with them all. The composite, granite, porcelain etc. Was your white one a composite?

I have a stainless steel sink by Abode, but it’s set into granite worktops so the draining board is also granite with carved drainage channels. The sink itself comes up lovely when cleaned and as long as I’m careful with pots and pans, the draining board still looks good. Just a note for anyone considering granite worktops. I love mine, but you have to be really careful about how you put down delicate crockery and glasses. I’ve broken quite a few long stemmed glasses and small china pieces because the granite is very unforgiving if you’re heavy handed !!

Pammie1 ... Sounds lovely though set in granite.

Joseann ..... What model do you have please?

Hi Welshy.
Franke double bowl stainless steel sink. The drainer is reversible so you can have it either side.
I've gone down to one and a half bowls now set into granite with carved drainage channels.

Joseann .... Thank you that looks lovely. Too big for my kitchen though. I can only have a one bowl and drainer. You have a lovely big kitchen.

I do so wish I had bought stainless steel instead of a ceramic sink. 20 years ago ceramic was very fashionable, my niece was renovating a farmhouse at the same time, she also regrets buying a ceramic sink.
I would love to change it, but I would need new taps and cupboard and door handles as they are brushed brass.
I think I need a kitchen makeover. 🤣

Is the Barkeepers Friend the cream cleanser type or powder?

The powder damp clothe and rub then rinse
Personally I found the cream cleaner lacked ump ‼️

Thank you. I will buy some for my sink.

Welshy I think it was a composite. Very strange thing with it though. We went on holiday and no one in flat while we were away. When we came home there was a big crack in it. We never understood how it happened as nothing had fallen into it.

That is very odd Moonwatcher1904.

Thanks so much Gwyllt for recommending that Barkeepers Friend. I’ve got mine online and used today. Brilliant shine on the sink just as you said but I also used it on some stainless steel type tall lanterns which had dulled. It brought them up bright and shiny too. It really does work! Thank you!
