Kitchen Sink Mixer recommendation

[Galaxy01]

My old sink mixer is dripping water, needs a replacement.

Your recommendations, please.  Have a tight budget.  ~$300 

Costs of installation by the plumber isn't cheap nowadays.  Their hourly rate is as high as doctor's fees ...

you could try posting a job on Builders Crack, with a couple of photos of the sink mixer perhaps, that way the plumbers will know what they are dealing with and can probably give you a price for doing the job...

My plumber friend recommended Raymor brand tapware. Top trade quality tapware at a reasonable price. We fitted out our last 2 bathrooms with this brand purchased from Mico. 

It doesn't take much skill to change out kitchen mixers as the connections are often threaded rather than braised so easy for the average DIYer.

Methven. They are cheaper to buy from Aussie. I got mine there.
