There are two camps when it comes to a laundry utility sink, those that want fashion and those that want function. It doesn’t matter which side you’re on, you still should save as much money as possible on yours when you buy it! In this post I want to offer some tips for finding both kinds of utility sinks so you can get exactly what you want at the price you want to pay.
I may be a little stereotypical when it comes to my judgment of your laundry sink needs, but it really helps me divide this post up so it makes sense!
Functional Laundry Utility Sink
When shopping for a sinks that’s designed to take a beating without leaking it’s actually pretty easy to get a smokin’ deal. By design there isn’t a whole lot that goes into making this style of sink, so they start out more affordable than the fashionable type do. Plastic sinks can be found for under $75 without much effort at all at your local hardware store. They are usually much cheaper online, but unless you find a deal on shipping you’re going to end up spending just as much.
If you’re particularly resourceful, or just want to spend as little as possible, you can find these sinks used all over the place. Whenever restaurants go out of business their sinks are usually sold at fire sale prices. Stainless steel sinks last forever, but when inspecting a used sink like this be sure to check all of the welds. The welds are the area that are prone to rust, and if it’s bad it will take serious repairs or it will break over time.
Fashionable Laundry Utility Sinks
For those on the other side of the fence, or just have their utility sink in a visible area, saving money on your sink takes a little bit more work. The same principles that you would use to save money on your bathroom sink are used for these.
It’s important to note that there isn’t a lot of difference between quality of brands, if you’re looking at two sinks by different manufacturers with very different prices, odds are that the cheaper one will perform just as well as the expensive one. Sinks are very low maintenance fixtures!
I always recommend that when people are looking for deals on sinks they shop online. Your local Home Depot will have good prices on a few sinks, but online you can find any sink you want at a great price. The trick to saving money online is shipping costs. If you can get free shipping on your sink, you’re going to save a lot of cash! It’s that simple, go find the sink you want and then keep searching until you find a retailer with shipping deals.
Upgrading or installing a new laundry room utility sink shouldn’t cost a fortune. Save that money for your bathroom, kitchen, or bar sink – don’t waste on the laundry room!
