Metal Bathroom Sinks Come in Many Styles, Designs, and Types

More from the Bathroom Remodeling Gallery

Metal sinks, especially stainless steel, have become a key feature in modern design. While more common in the kitchen, metal sinks are no strangers to the bathroom either. Metal sinks come in a variety of styles (wall mount, drop-in, pedestal, under- and above-mount) and designs (round, square, oval, rectangular, hexagonal, and free form shapes). There are a few common types of metal sinks: stainless steel (by far the most common), copper, bronze, and more.

Stainless steel offers the lasting finish that in the past, only porcelain sinks could offer. Enjoy years without staining. Stainless steel sinks offer a durability and a shine that other sinks simply cannot match.

Copper lends itself to vintage bathrooms. Copper sinks are best known for their "living" finish, which you can keep shiny with regular polishing or let the copper naturally age. Copper sinks also have the advantage of being inherently antibacterial.

Bronze sinks are usually handcrafted and very pricy. They are hand-formed and given a patina which is used to provide a certain range of colors. Most patinas hover between green and brown and, of course, a natural bronze look.

Other types of metal bathroom sinks include pewter, brass, and nickel.

Metal sinks have a humongous price range, depending on the material and craftsmanship. That range starts with simple stainless steel sinks for less than $200 and goes up to the sky, with high-end copper or nickel sinks reaching $2,000 and higher.
