    I purchased new sink mixer from Bunnings just 1.5 years ago and it has started leaking.

    Mondella WELS 4 Star 7.5L/min Cadenza Sink Mixer - Bunnings Australia

    Bunnings is offering refund of product but not labour. I think it's quite unreasonable that I would have to fork another plumbing payment to install new mixer and Bunnings won't refund labour for previous plumbing invoice. They are saying labour is only covered for 1 year.

    What can be done here?

    Also what mixer would you suggest to install? I want something which is reasonable priced with good warranty and will last.

    Thanks in advance!

    Just be glad it didn't flood your house.
    Spend some good money at Reece and buy something trendy.
    Mine is coming up to 8 years, will be replacing it before the braided flexible hoses let go.......
