We will be upgrading our holiday-let kitchen during this coming Winter. This will include replacing the sink and sink-unit.
We are undecided whether to fit a stainless steel or a ceramic sink.
Ceramic sinks look more pleasing to the eye but I have some concerns that a ceramic sink could be damaged more easily(chipped or cracked), by careless guests.
Does anyone have ceramic sinks in their FHL and have they had problems with sinks being chipped or cracked?

We have a ceramic sink from Ikea, the Havsen one and I hate it. The glaze on the bottom is starting to go so it never looks that perfect sparkling clean any more. It may just be the quality of the Ikea one just isn't very good. In London we had one made by Corian which I loved. The advantage of stainless steel (apart from being hard-wearing) is that cleaned properly they look very clean and shiny.
Thank you all for your replies.
I am erring to have a ceramic sink fitted instead of a stainless steel one. I can understand crockery being broken if dropped on a ceramic sink, however we are intending to have granite worktops fitted, which could mean even more broken crockery/glassware.
Reading Sanchisimo's post it would appear that installing a good quality ceramic sink would be prudent.
Looking forward now to Winter and all the hard work and expense of fitting the new kitchen.

That is a good idea SW31 and thanks.SW31 wrote:We have a double ceramic sink. I put in two sink mats over the sink. They’re rarely used but I think they’re a good ‘nudge’ to clients to think about being careful with the sink!
We shall put in sink mats when we have our new kitchen installed.
