Finding the right sink basins that suit your bathroom can be a tough job. There are literally thousands of choices, and many of them look the same! How do you pick one? In this post we’ll take a look at the different styles of basin sinks so you can figure out which is right for you and your bathroom.
The traditional sink basin is a top mounted ceramic bowl that is extremely easy to find an affordable replacement for. It’s important that your replacement sink is the same size, or a little bit bigger, than the original. A sink that is smaller will need a makeover on the counter to get it to fit, which is a pretty big project. You can find these anywhere that sell sinks, like your local hardware store.
If you’re looking for something a bit fancier, look to under mounted basin sinks. These mount underneath the counter and have a very clean look. If you’re replacing a sink that was originally mounted on the top of the counter, there may be a little bit of work that is needed to the counter to get its appearance back in shape.
An even fancier choice is the vessel sink. These require a major counter redo if you are keeping the existing one because these bowls rest directly on top of the counter and have a small hole to drain. Vessel sinks are the ultimate in elegance and quality, but aren’t recommended for a bathroom that has heavy kid traffic because they break much easier than sinks mounted into the cabinet.
There are a few other types of sink basins, like farm sinks, but are less common in the bathroom. The first step in any sink makeover is to decide which style you want, from there the color and manufacturer are easy to determine.
