ADP Clovelly Small Rectangular Sink Stainless Steel

A good laundry sink makes washing, soaking and cleaning so much easier. Here's how to find one that works perfectly for your space.

1. Measure your laundry space

Measure the width of your laundry bench or the space you have available, and check how much depth you can fit without blocking walkways or doors. Also think about where your existing plumbing sits – choosing a sink that works with your setup saves time and money.

2. Choose your sink size

• Small laundry sinks: Perfect for tight spaces, apartments or powder room setups where you just need something functional.
• Large laundry sinks: Great for families or anyone who does a lot of hand washing, soaking, or washing pets – more room makes life easier.
• Double bowl sinks: Two bowls mean you can soak in one and rinse in the other, super practical for busy households.

3. Pick single or double bowl

• Single bowl sinks: Simple, spacious, and perfect for most laundries – plenty of room for big items.
• Double bowl: More versatile if you multitask or need to separate dirty and clean water. Takes up more bench space though.

4. Choose your sink style

• Topmount laundry sinks: Drop into the benchtop from above – easy to install and replace, great for DIY or renovations.
• Undermount laundry sinks: Fitted beneath the benchtop for a seamless look that's easier to wipe down and keep clean.
• Overflow laundry sinks: For peace of mind when soaking clothes or filling up the tub. If you forget the tap or get distracted mid-task, the overflow function redirects excess water. 

5. Consider shape and depth

Round laundry sinks look modern and save corner space. Square laundry sinks offer more capacity and fit standard benchtops easily. Deeper sinks are brilliant for soaking and washing but make sure you can reach the bottom comfortably.

6. Pick your material and finish

Stainless steel laundry sinks are durable, practical, and easy to clean – perfect for everyday use. Want something different? Black laundry sinks, white sinks, brass gold and gunmetal add style and personality to your laundry.

7. Match your laundry tap

Pair your sink with a practical laundry mixer tap. Pull-out laundry taps with spray options make filling buckets and rinsing so much easier. Choose a finish that matches or complements your sink and laundry accessories.

8. Set your budget

Basic laundry sinks start around $50–$400. Larger, deeper laundry tubs or designer finishes sit between $400–$800+, depending on size and style. A good laundry sink lasts for years, so invest in something sturdy.
