Kitchen Sinks at Catering Base

When considering a kitchen, the first thing that comes to mind is the cooking space. However, if you observe closely, the sink is the place where most of the actual work takes place. From washing vegetables to scrubbing dishes, the kitchen sink is the unsung hero. At Catering Base, we introduce you to a vast array of kitchen sinks for everyday use in domestic setups, restaurants, and catering establishments.

Our inventory features a range of kitchen sinks, including single-bowl, double-bowl, undermount, and drainboard sinks, as well as must-have accessories such as waste sink strainers and plugs. Each of our sinks is constructed for durability, simplicity of maintenance, and years of continued use. If you are putting in a new kitchen or resurfacing an existing sink, Catering Base offers choices to suit your area and your requirements.

Types of Kitchen Sinks You’ll Find at Catering Base

Each kitchen is unique and has its own workflow and style. That is why we carry various types of kitchen sinks so you can choose what suits you best.

1. Single Bowl Kitchen Sink

A single bowl kitchen sink is ideal for small kitchens or if you require one big space for cleaning. It is easy, easy to fit, and good if you don't have much counter space. You can get functional single bowl sinks at Catering Base that are hardwearing and easy to clean.

2. Undermount Kitchen Sink

For a contemporary appearance with sleek lines, an undermount kitchen sink is the solution. Fixed below the countertop, it is a cinch to clean. You can sweep crumbs or spills directly into the sink without a raised rim getting in the way. Our undermount kitchen sink series is robust, practical, and includes fittings to ensure installation is simpler.

3. Sinks with Drainboards

At other times, you require additional space beside the sink in which to place washed items or to dispose of water. A sink with a drainboard provides you with added convenience. It is particularly beneficial for catering kitchens where quick and efficient organisation is critical. Catering Base provides sinks with drainboards that are efficient and save time. 

4. Commercial and Utility Sinks

Commercial kitchens will need hand-wash basins and pre-rinse units. These ensure that staff remain clean and the workflow continues uninterrupted. At Catering Base, there are hand-wash sinks with taps, pedestal rinsers, and pre-rinse sprays that can withstand heavy usage.

How to Choose the Right Kitchen Sink for Your Space

Selecting a sink is not simply a matter of choosing a size. There are tiny details that have enormous implications for daily usage.

Size and Basin Configuration

Begin by verifying your cabinet or counter size. A single bowl kitchen sink is most suitable if you don't have a lot of space or you don't need to multitask. A double kitchen sink would be most appropriate if you desire washing and rinsing areas separately. Both are provided by Catering Base, so you can decide according to your kitchen taste.

Depth and Drain Position

The depth of your sink determines how much it will hold. Sinks that are deeper can accommodate large pots and pans without splashing water everywhere across the counter. The drain location matters. A central drain is good for most kitchens, but an off-centre drain allows more useful space under the sink for pipes and storage.

Installation Style

There are primarily two widely used installation designs. An undermount kitchen sink provides a sleek and contemporary appearance. A drop-in sink is simpler to install and replace. Both have advantages, and Catering Base provides sinks in both designs so you can pair them with your choice.

Essential Parts and Accessories

A kitchen sink would be incomplete without the appropriate accessories. These smaller components enhance the utility of the sink and ensure your kitchen is always in top condition.

  1. Waste Sink Strainer: Prevents food waste from clogging the drain and eases cleaning. Catering Base offers high-quality strainers that perfectly complement our sinks.
  2. Sink Plug and Chain: Basic yet vital, it assists in retaining water in the basin as required.
  3. Basin Waste Fittings: Premium fittings avoid leaks and ensure your sink functions well for years to come.
  4. Pre Rinse Spray and Pedestal Rinsers: Available for commercial installations where hygiene and speed are paramount.
  5. Taps and Tap Holes: Most of our sinks have tap holes and can be paired with kitchen sink taps for full installation.

Installation and Durability

When you install a new kitchen sink, it is always advisable to verify the cabinet size and support surface. Proper sealing along the edges avoids leakage. A proper waste pipe connection facilitates easy drainage. Catering Base offers sinks and accessories made with durability to last you long after installation.

Our stainless steel sinks are resistant to stains and are simple to clean. With routine maintenance, they will still function well even in heavy kitchens.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the size of the kitchen sink that I require?

The appropriate size will depend on your kitchen cabinet space and kitchen usage. A single basin kitchen sink will suffice for a small kitchen, whereas a double kitchen sink will serve better if you frequently wash numerous dishes. We have both small and large sinks available at Catering Base so that you can get an ideal match. 

Single basin or double basin sink, which is best?

A one-bowl sink provides you with one large area, which is excellent for washing big pots. A double kitchen sink allows you to keep washing and rinsing dishes. It's really down to the type of cooking you do and the room. Catering Base sells both ranges, so you can opt for what best fits your purposes.

What is an undermount kitchen sink?

An undermount kitchen sink is installed below the countertop. This provides a smooth and contemporary appearance to your kitchen. Cleaning also becomes convenient as you can clean spills directly into the sink. Catering Base offers sturdy undermount sinks with suitable fittings.

How to install a new kitchen sink properly?

Begin with taking the measurement of your cabinet, cutting out preparation, fitting the waste and plug, sealing around the edges, and installing the water supply and drain pipes. Install good-quality fittings for a long-lasting installation. Sinks from Catering Base have accessories for easy installation.

What accessories are must-haves with kitchen sinks?

Essential accessories are waste sink strainer, sink plug and chain, basin waste fittings, taps, and pre-rinse sprays in a commercial kitchen. These enhance the functionality and longevity of the sink. Catering Base supplies all these accessories to fill out your kitchen sink installation.
