Ceramic sinks for sale
« on: October 28, 2015, 06:43:59 PM »
Went to a architectural reclamation yard today, well a pub actually but this was alongside. Lots of desirable things but along one edge were several white porcelain sinks of all shapes and sizes.
2 were about 2' x 4' others smaller. These 2 were quite clean and apparently unused. OVER £600 EACH!
I have 6 in the garden, previously used as lab. sinks, and far from pristine, mostly around 2' x 3'. Out with the scrubbing brush tomorrow ;-)

Crikey! That is very pricey.  Hope you'd had the visit to the pub first to take the shock off?

Perhaps it would be cheaper to source from new?

the building where I work used to house the public health labs - and when they changed them to office space the buiders smashed all the sinks because they were too heavy to move - (Elf and Safety gov)
By the time I saw all the bits in the skip there was only one left - so I managed to get them to wrap it in a plastic bag and I staggered to my car with it.

Its a really nice sink as it was designed for chemicals - its just bl**dy heavy

I could have cried they also smashed the victorian blown salt glazed thin sink/drainers as well - philistines
