Bathroom Sinks

What is the Best Material for a Bathroom Sink?

The best materials for a bathroom sink include:

• Porcelain and Ceramic: Durable and easy to clean, making them ideal for high-use bathrooms.
• Natural Stone and Glass: Offer unique aesthetics, but require more maintenance.

Although a porcelain sink is often the go-to choice, there are many other materials available. Try bronze or copper sinks for something that ages well and warms up an often stark and sterile room. Opt for a stone, stainless steel or concrete sink in a modern en suite. Donning a vanity with a bright, glass wash basin is a strategic way to add a splash of color. If youʼre wary of a new material, try a new shape instead.

What Sink Size Do I Need for My Bathroom?

The size of your bathroom sink should match the size of your bathroom and vanity. Example sizes include:

• Small Bathroom/Powder Room: Compact pedestal or corner sink, typically around 16 to 20 inches in width.
• Larger Bathrooms: Wider sinks or double sinks, which can range from 24 inches to 48 inches or more for double vanity setups.

Measure your vanity and your old sink if you need a replacement.

How to Measure a Bathroom Sink for Replacement

Measure the length, width, and depth of the existing sink. For under-mount and drop-in sinks, ensure to measure the cut-out dimensions as well, not just the visible part of the sink. For round and oval sinks, measure the diameter and depth.

How to Install a Bathroom Sink?

For undermount and wall-mounted sinks, it is recommended to hire a professional due to the precision required in mounting and plumbing. Find a TOP-rated Plumber on Houzz for expert installation services.

In general, there are several key steps for the sInk installation:

• Preparation: Turning off the water supply and removing the old sink if necessary.
• Fit and Secure: Ensuring that the cut-out in the countertop matches the sinkʼs dimensions. Wall-mounted sinks require securing the sink to wall studs.
• Plumbing: Connecting the drain and water supply lines. This may require adjustments to align with the new sinkʼs configuration.
• Sealing: Applying sealant around the sink edge for drop-in models or the mounting bracket for wall-mounted sinks to prevent water leaks.

How Tall Should a Bathroom Sink Be?

The standard height for a bathroom sink is typically 30 to 36 inches from the floor. Adjust based on the usersʼ height and accessibility needs.
