What material should you pick for a 1.5‑bowl sink; stainless steel, granite composite or ceramic?

If you need everyday durability and a budget-friendly option, stainless steel is hardwearing and common across our range, from inset to undermount models. Granite composite gives a matt, modern look and resists chips and heat better. Ceramic or fireclay suits a traditional or farmhouse style and gives a glossy, deep finish but can chip if struck hard with something very heavy such as a cast iron pan or dish. Match the material to how you use the sink: choose stainless steel for heavy-duty use, granite composite for a modern family kitchen and ceramic for classic aesthetics.

How do I choose the right size and bowl depth for my kitchen?

Check the overall sink length and width options listed, such as compact undermounts at 560 x 440mm and larger inset models around 1000 x 500mm, then match that to your available worktop space. Most 1.5‑bowl sinks have bowl depths in the 200–299mm range, which suits comfortable washing without excessive splashing. If you entertain or wash large pans regularly, aim for the deeper main bowl and a larger overall length; if space is tight, a 560 x 440mm undermount keeps the footprint small while still offering a half bowl for rinsing.

Should I choose left‑hand, right‑hand or reversible drainer?

Think about your workflow and appliance placement in your kitchen. If your dishwasher or prep area is on the right, a right‑hand drainer funnels water toward that side, while a left‑hand drainer suits the opposite layout. Many models offer left or right options or a reversible design, so you can match the drainer to your kitchen before you buy. Plumbworld stocks a wide range of sinks in both left or right configurations, while a number of inset models are reversible to give you flexibility.

What are the practical cleaning and wear differences between finishes like brushed stainless and silicaTec?

Brushed stainless hides fingerprints reasonably well but can show light scratches over time; wipe regularly with a soft cloth and mild detergent to maintain the finish. SilicaTec and high‑quality granite composite surfaces are engineered to resist stains and scratches more than standard finishes, making them low‑maintenance choices for busy kitchens. Ceramic and fireclay clean to a bright shine but can reveal hairline marks if abrasive cleaners are used, so use non‑abrasive cleaners and a soft sponge.

Do 1.5‑bowl sinks normally include the waste, and are taps sometimes bundled?

Many of the sinks sold on the Plumbworld site come with the waste included, with the majority of granite models including a drainer and waste. Some models also bundle the sink with a mixer tap too, which will be stated in the product description on what's included. If you prefer a single purchase, look for listings that state sink and mixer tap together to save time.

1.5 Bowl Kitchen Sinks

1.5-bowl kitchen sinks are the perfect combination of single and double-bowl sinks. They give you the added flexibility of two bowls but without the added size that comes with them. The larger of the two bowls is generally a little smaller than single bowl sinks but that additional half bowl is worth the loss of space as it can be used for rinsing and swilling while the main bowl is already in use.

Our 1.5-bowl kitchen sinks come in a variety of styles, from modern to traditional through to square or round and can be bought in materials like stainless steel, granite and ceramic. Some are reversible, allowing you to fit the tap on either side, while others are available in either left or right-hand drainer options.
