I am thinking of changing my old plastic kitchen sink for a new modern stainless steel type. I have a few question's I'd like to ask and if anyone could help me I'd be very thankful.
Is it hard to get a plastic sink out? I had it installed about 15 years ago and I don't know how it is joined to the worktop! I know stainless steel type sinks have claw type clips that hold the sink tight to the worktop but not sure about plastic ones!
Also, about the waste/overflow combined unit - is it just the same as with a basin, bath, using putty/sealant around the underside of the waste/overflow inside the sink to help create the seal?
All the pipework to and from the sink is fine and I can alter that if necessary slightly.
One last point-should I get a sink exactly the same size or bigger? I don't have a jigsaw and don't really want to have to cut the worktop! I will be getting a left hand drainer again hopefully.
Thanks.
