Hi All,

Anyone have a favorite plastic bathroom sink to replace it?

Many thanks,

I have 35 year old Corian counter tops that look as good today as they did back in 1980.

Both my bathrooms have Swanstone vanity tops with sinks. We like
them.

You can go with porcelain, cultured marble, Corian or any other number
of synthetics.



Plastic is cheaper. And from what I can tell, just as
durable. And it DOESN'T RUST!

True but it stains and scratches. Porcelain does neither.

Plastic sinks are not necessarily cheaper as fabrication cost is higher.
They do not rust but some plastics hold up better than others.
I would prefer acrylic based like Corian. Some may be polyesters and
don't hold up as well.

Hi,
There maybe plastic sink but I never saw or heard it installed in home
environment. Camping trailer I had had it in the bathroom which we did
not like. Install good one and forget it for long time. I'd use one of
forementioned.

Depends on how you define "plastic". Most people call any non-metal
material a plastic, but it may be a fiberglass, or other polymer
material. There are some really good ones that will last for many years.

OTOH, he also states they are cheap. In reality, they can be quite
pricey.

I've got three of them with sinks molded along with vanity top.
These things are not pure plastic but are filled plastic.
Mine look good after 35 years but I think they are polyester as soap has
caused some erosion and think Corian would be better.
Corian is acrylic filled with aluminum oxide and colorants.
I once saw a Corian bathtub but think it was the only one ever made.

I you drop anything on those idiot cast iron sinks, it chips the
porcelain, and the buzzard will start to rust.

I want to avoid this in the future. I also want something
that I won't injure my back trying to lift.

I haven't seen a decent plastic bathroom sink, and if they stand up
like plastic laudry tubs I certainly wouldn't want one. Cultured
marble is OK but with agressive water gets looking pretty tough in
less than 10 years. I'd go with porcelain over steel or vitreous
china. (have porcelain upstairs, Vitreous china downstairs)

I've got a Mirolin/ Mirstone resin sink in the kitchen - not sure I'd
do it again if I had it to do over.

I'd go with vitreous china since it is a coating OVER porcelain.

Hi Pops,

Interesting. Thank you.

How are they when you drop something on them? Do they
crack? And, will I injure myself trying to lift it
into place? (I am going to have fun getting the
old one out!)

Mentioned that mine look fine after 35 years.
These are thick, composite plastic like Corian.
My son has a sink where plastic is thin and something dropped on it put
a hole in it.
I would like to replace mine, however as the vanity's they top are worn.
I'd look at buying the whole thing as a unit.

Crack? Depends upon the force of the blow but not likely. Chipping would
be a more likely result but that too would depend upon the force and the
area over wich it was applied. Drop a 20# turkey and nothing will
happen...rap the sink rim hard with the back edge of a cleaver and it will
probably chip.

Weight? Not light weight but not back breakers. If you can pick up a
toilet bowl - vitreous china - you should have no problem with a vitreous
china sink.
