You might also check out some of the options for bathroom vanities. �There

In the house Wife and I just bought, the previous owners configured
the laundry/heater room in such a strange way that the hookups for a
sink/utility tub are behind the door to the room. What this means is
there's only about 18" front to back depth in which to put a utility
sink/tub.
Anyone know of such a thing? A search of the usual home supply
suspects (big box stores, Northeast Plumbing Supply, etc.) turns up
nothing.
Or am I out of luck? 'Cause I really hate having to rinse out paint
brushes and the like in the kitchen sink or the downstairs bathroom...
Do you have room for a real sink, past the end of the opened door? If so,
I'd just build some shallow shelves, and hide extensions to the plumbing
inside them, and put the sink over a couple of 3 feet. Or like the other
guy said, move the existing pipes (assuming you have access to to do
that.)
Failing that, look for 'bar sink' or 'prep sink'. They make those in
stainless, for narrow counters. �Faucet is usually on one end, rather than
the back edge. You'd have to knock together something presentable to hold
it, but that shouldn't be too hard.
A picture of the room would help us make better suggestions.

install a slop sink in garage...... a single bowl washtub.

end of problem for dirty jobs
Good idea, if you live where garage never freezes. Around here it would
require an enclosure, even in an attached garage. (Think 'janitor
closet', extending within heated envelope of house, but still
maintaining firebreaks and such.) Of course, if cost is no object, may
as well put a toilet and shower stall out there while you are at it.
That has been on the spec sheet for my 'when I win the Lotto' dream
house, all along.
