MamaBearTeacher Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 I was reading that bathroom sinks usually vary between 5 and 8 inches deep. Our current sink is 6 inches this has worked fine but we need to but a new sink. The sink that fits and is the best deal by far is 8 inches. Are there any disadvantages to a deeper sink? This is for a bathroom used by 3 boys who are mischievous and sometimes like to play with water. It is a drop-in sink. I did see another inexpensive sink but it was not a name brand. It was also ceramic. Does brand matter for a ceramic drop-in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VaKim Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 No expert here, but I have found that deeper is better. There is way less splash mess with a deeper sink. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Upward Journey Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 No expert here, but I have found that deeper is better. There is way less splash mess with a deeper sink. My experience, too. We just moved and our new bathroom has a shallow sink. What a mess! The counter is constantly covered in water. It's nasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoobie Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 I prefer a deeper sink too! FWIW, I ordered our new sinks off Amazon. I got Kohler sinks for less than the plumber's price (BIL is a contractor and they charge us their cost). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anne in CA Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 I also like a deeper sink. I am bugging dh to replace our six inch with an eight inch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzanne in ABQ Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 I would choose a sink with as wide a diameter as possible. Small sinks mean constantly cleaning the countertop because the water splashes out, or drips down arms, or whatever. I love my bathroom sink because it's about 18 inches across. I never thought about depth before, but I can see that a deeper sink would keep the water in better. Avoid scalloped (seashell) sinks. They're a pain to clean, or to even swish to remove toothpaste/whiskers/etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
