When we think of a bathroom space, the first thing that comes to our mind is the sink. It could be otherwise, but mostly a sink. Also, it has to be the most used portion in a bathroom. So, when it comes to choosing one to install in your bathroom space or dining hall, you should go for nothing less than the best bathroom sinks.
Going for a random cheap-quality bathroom sink and then adorning it with pricey faucets, pop-up drains, shelves with high-end products organized on it will not increase the durability or the beauty of a sink.
Beneath, we will talk about some of the most durable plus elegant looking sinks that complement your bathroom space and match your taste. Some of these are top mounts, and the rest are under-mounts. We have skipped the drop-in bathroom sinks, though.
You have different shapes, colors, and materials to choose too. Therefore, stay assured that you are soon going to get your favorite without searching for it much.

Review of the 10 Best Bathroom Sinks
1. Nantucket Sinks UM-16×11-W 16-Inch
Nantucket Sink is your regular but the best type of bathroom sink. It is a big, ceramic under-mount sink that increases the beauty of a marble countertop. It matches the top and looks seamless. There is an overflow and also a standard drain hole in it.
It is made of Vitreous china material and has a porcelain enamel glaze. The former makes it durable and elegant looking, and the latter does the same but adds the benefit of easy cleaning.
Though it is rectangular in shape and has a flat bottom, the sides are sloped. The 18”x12.875” exterior dimension and 16”x10.875” interior dimension fits a 21-inch countertop base just fine. The bowl depth is 7.4 inches, and the drain diameter is 1.75 inches.
The slippery finish helps the sink to remain clean as the sticky dirt fails to stick on it. When you sweep a damp cloth or slightly rub the stain and dirt with it, the filth easily comes off and gets cleaned.
This under-mount sink helps to keep the countertop spacious. There will be no tough-to-reach corners or crevices underneath or behind the sink. Therefore, the countertop area remains clean from all sides, edges, and corners. Also, you can just clean the countertop and swipe all the dirty water directly into the basin.

Let’s talk about its size in figures. The sink is 18.98 inches lengthwise, 14.65 inches in width, and 4.13 inches in depth. The drain hole is 1.75 inches. So, any standard pop up drain might not work with it. However, the bigger opening calls for faster draining.
It is a top-mounted basin for your bathroom countertop. The wall-mounted or above counter faucets suits it the right way. Especially the waterfall disc faucets and wall-mounted vessel faucets as the size of the basin is pretty big.
The non-porous, high-quality ceramic material makes it a long-lasting bathroom sink. It is ultra-glossy and smooth, thus easy to clean. The baked-on glaze on the surface also plays its part in making it durable.

The sink claims to be inspired by European modern contemporary style design. And the construction and finish say that it was well inspired, resulting in this sleek, beautiful white sink.
So, it is 18.90” in length, 14.57” in width and 5.12” in height. It has a standard 1¾” draining hole. The size is pretty moderate, not too big, not too small. Apt to fit in a medium-sized bathroom space. Installing it in a cozy bathroom space will not make it stick out and seem out of place.
It has a premium quality ceramic build and a crystalline glaze. It might seem delicate to make it look sleek and elegant. But as a regularly used bathroom component, it is pretty solid.
The smooth lines and the curved rounded edges and corners make it safe to use. Also, easy to clean. The glossy finish doesn’t let the dirt stick on it for too long, and it could be cleaned with a couple of sweeps and mild cleaning powder. It can withstand scratches very well also.

The flat bottom but oval-shaped bathroom sink is unique in its own way. On the inside, it is glazed, glossy, and slippery, but at the bottom, it is unglazed.

Important Things to Consider When Buying Bathroom Sinks
Choose a sink keeping a few but essential features in mind.
Size And Type
The size, type of the basin depends on how spacious or small your bathroom is, whether you have a countertop or need to wall mount a sink. There is no point in a large rectangular shaped basin in a small, cozy bathroom space.
Neither a small round shaped sink will look good in a spacious, luxurious bathroom space. No point in buying an under-mount sink if you do not have a countertop to hide its underside. So, consider various aspects and then choose.
Shape
A basin could be of a different shape. At least after such a long discussion, you know it could be round, oval, rectangular with rounded edges, or rectangular with sharp edges. The shape depends on your preference. However, we prefer a form that suits the bathroom space, also a design that has depth. Water splashing all over is not something we think many would enjoy.
Glaze
Bathroom sinks are mostly made of porcelain or ceramic. Then you have the tempered glass ones. The material could be any, but what doesn’t change is the glossy, shiny vibe to it. The glaze has a few purposes. First, it makes the sink look pretty, sleek, and elegant. Also, the glossy finish ensures the sink not to let the dirt stick to it. It makes the sink easy to clean with just a few sweeps of a damp cloth.
Durable
You are not going to install a basin every second day. So, it must be durable. Many times, unintentional collision happens, and the sink cracks. Even if it’s not broken into two separate parts, you still have to replace it. So, make sure the basins you are buying are made of durable materials like Vitreous China or solid tempered glass material.
Easy To Clean
If the basin has a glossy finish or made of porcelain, it will be easy to clean. But the sphere sometimes makes the corners or crevices difficult to clean. So, be sure that the basin you choose will give you easy access to clean it from all sides, at least the exposed sides, after installation.
Scratch Resistant
For maintaining hygiene and cleaning a surface, we often clean a basin even if it’s clean. Sinks are not what should be scrubbed with abrasive tools or harsh products, but even if we are cleaning and scrubbing it with the softest brush, it might leave scratches and remove due to long-term rubbing the coating. That makes it look ugly and unclean. If the basin you choose is scratch-resistant, you are saved from that hassle and hideous sight.
Easy To Install
Above mount or under-mount, with faucet holes, or without, drain hole in the center or not in the center, standard-sized drain hole or unusual sized, no matter what the placements are, your basin has to be easy to install. It is best if you can install the basin all by yourself without calling a plumber.
Conclusion
In an apartment or house, you have several spaces to install a sink. So, go with a big, rectangular bathroom sink where you will wash your face, brush your teeth, and all that jazz. And you can install any of the best bathroom sinks above, especially the sleek, small tempered glass ones in other spaces, for instance, a dining hall where the sink will be almost a showpiece that is regularly used.
These are all great sinks, highly durable, and beautiful additions to your bathroom or vanity. So, buy one that you need, that specific one that suits the space you are planning to install it. Hopefully, the review and buying guide will guide you to the best one.
