Currently have a white percelain enameled steel lavatory sink but the enamel
has chipped/flaked off in spots - I don't even think anything actually fell
into the sink to chip it. I would rather avoid this problem with a
replacement and was considering a china or acrylic sink. Could anyone tell
me what the pros and cons are of each of these materials. I would like to
limit myself to a "budget" sink from one of the home supply stores.

Thanks
John

Downside of the china sinks is that they tend to last forever...sucks to get rid
of something that still looks almost brand new. The only acrylic sink I've
got is my laundry tub...can't imagine wanting a plastic sink in a bathroom, but
maybe they've improved.
