will need to buy a kitchen sink for the new build, what i want is a good quality one that will not scratch when you look at it. a drainer and bowl only, inset style. is there a brand name to look for and about how much.

Value for money and top quality in Stainless Steel is the Franke range of sinks. Have a look on e*ay for price comparison.

I'd second that!

I've spent one afternoon cleaning deposits (limescale?) left by two year's worth of renters on my Franke sink. It now looks as good as new and it's four years old.

I loved ours. The slightly heavier guage meant that it didn't "dink" and so kept looking smart.
