Dear all, I would like to share a very unfortunate experience of mine. I bought my kitchen sink from poh seng hardware at jalan besar. The boss assured us twice that his sinks are made of statinless steel. one week after the installation of the sink, it started to rust (please refer to photos). We went back to look for the boss to tell him about the rust. Instead of giving a solution, he raised his voice at us claiming that there is nothing wrong with his sink and we should blame HDB for the "extra ingredients" in the water.
But my question is, isn't my sink made of stainless steel, if so, why the rust?
we also noticed that my master room basin starts to rust as well. I'm surprised that the HDB sink is of a better quality than poh seng. just for sharing, do get the sales person to state in black and white that you are getting a stainless steel sink. so that when something is wrong, at least there's proof. i have spent 1000 with poh seng and now im worried bout the rest of my stuffs.
We tried autosol and CIF but doesn't really help much.

Unless u want to be stuck with a rusty kitchen sink, DO THINK TWICE before purchasing there.

I went to Poh Joo & Universal Union for quotations.

Poh Joo gave a lower quotation for the sink that I wanted but their delivery cost is higher.

Universal Union was a confusing experience. Different sales persons gave different prices and they can't match Poh Joo's price.

In the end we went with Universal Union as we were physically at the shop already.

You can email them in advance for the prices and then head to the shop to check out the sinks. Hope this helps.

Usually thicker sinks costs more. I was advised to get sinks that are at least 1 mm thick.

Undermount sinks should be even thicker. Mine is around 1.2mm.

I have no idea why undermount sinks need to be thicker, can anyone advise so that the newbies will be more informed when they shop for their sinks.
