How to Choose a Gunmetal Sink

A gunmetal sink creates a darker, more contemporary alternative to traditional stainless steel while remaining versatile enough to work with light stone, timber-look cabinetry and darker kitchen palettes. Before choosing by colour alone, consider the bowl configuration, cabinet size, installation method, benchtop and how the sink will coordinate with your tapware.

If you are still comparing materials and finishes, browse our Sink collection.

Choose Single Bowl or Double Bowl

A single bowl provides one uninterrupted washing area and can be useful for large pots, pans and baking trays. It can also suit kitchens and laundries where cabinet space is limited.

A double bowl provides separate areas for washing, rinsing or soaking but generally requires more cabinet width. Compare our Single Bowl Sinks and Double Bowl Sinks before deciding.

Check the Installation Method

Selected gunmetal sinks can support topmount, undermount or multiple installation methods. Topmount installation leaves the sink rim visible above the benchtop, while undermount installation creates a cleaner transition between the bench and bowl.

Always check the specifications for the exact model before the benchtop is fabricated, as installation options and cut-out requirements vary between sinks.

Coordinate the Sink and Tapware

A gunmetal sink can be paired with matching gunmetal tapware for a coordinated look, or contrasted with finishes such as brushed nickel, black or selected warmer metals depending on the kitchen palette.

Finish names and tones can vary between manufacturers, so compare the actual products when an exact match is important. Browse our Gunmetal Tapware when planning the complete sink area.

Check Cabinet Size and Everyday Maintenance

Measure the internal cabinet width and allow space for the bowl, waste, plumbing and any bins or drawers underneath. If replacing an existing sink, compare the exact cut-out dimensions rather than relying only on the overall sink size.

Dark coloured finishes may also show dried water or mineral residue differently from standard stainless steel. Follow the individual product care instructions and avoid unsuitable abrasive cleaning methods.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Are gunmetal sinks practical for everyday kitchen and laundry use?

Yes. A gunmetal sink can provide the functionality of a kitchen or laundry sink while creating a darker metallic feature than traditional stainless steel. The current MBS range includes gunmetal sinks for kitchen, laundry, bar and butler's-pantry applications in several sizes and bowl configurations. When choosing, look beyond the finish and check the bowl dimensions, cabinet size and mounting method. Browse our Gunmetal Sinks or wider Sink collection.

2. Should I choose a single or double bowl gunmetal sink?

Choose a single bowl if you want one uninterrupted washing area for larger pots, pans and baking trays. A double bowl provides separate areas for washing, rinsing, soaking or food preparation, but generally requires more cabinet space. The current Gunmetal Sink collection includes both single- and double-bowl options. Your choice should depend on how you use the sink and the available cabinet width. Compare our Single Bowl Sinks and Double Bowl Sinks.

3. Can a gunmetal sink be installed topmount or undermount?

It depends on the individual model. The current range includes sinks described for drop-in/topmount and undermount installation, while selected double-bowl models also support flush-mount installation. A topmount sink has a visible rim sitting above the benchtop, while an undermount sink is fitted beneath the bench for a cleaner transition into the bowl. Do not assume every gunmetal sink supports every mounting method. Check the exact product specification and confirm compatibility with your benchtop fabricator before cutting.

4. What size cabinet do I need for a gunmetal sink?

Start with the internal cabinet width, then compare it with the minimum cabinet requirement for the exact sink. Allow enough room for the bowl, waste, plumbing, mounting hardware and any bins or drawers underneath. Bowl depth also matters because a deeper sink takes up more internal cabinet space. If you are replacing an existing sink, do not rely only on the overall width and length; the new cut-out requirements may be different. Browse the Gunmetal Sink collection before finalising cabinetry or benchtop preparation.

5. Should I match a gunmetal sink with gunmetal tapware?

You can, especially if you want the sink and mixer to read as one coordinated feature. Melbourne Bathroom Shop carries gunmetal kitchen and laundry mixers as part of its wider gunmetal tapware range. However, finish names are not perfectly standardised between manufacturers, so one brand's Gun Metal may differ slightly in tone, texture or sheen from another. If an exact match matters, compare the actual finishes before ordering. Browse our Gunmetal Tapware when planning the complete sink area.

6. Are gunmetal sinks difficult to keep clean?

They are generally straightforward to maintain, but a dark metallic surface can show dried water, mineral residue or cleaning marks differently from standard stainless steel. Regular rinsing and wiping the sink dry can help maintain a cleaner appearance. Avoid aggressive abrasive cleaners, scouring pads or chemicals unless they are specifically approved for the product finish. Because the current collection includes standard Gun Metal as well as an Anti Scratch Gun Metal option on a selected model, care requirements may vary between products. Always follow the manufacturer's care instructions for your exact sink.

7. What should I check before ordering a gunmetal sink?

Before ordering, confirm the overall dimensions, bowl width and depth, minimum cabinet size, mounting method, exact benchtop cut-out, waste position, tapware location and whether you need a drainer. Selected MBS gunmetal models include single and double bowls, drainboard designs and multiple mounting configurations, so check the exact product rather than assuming the whole collection has the same specifications. If replacing an existing sink, have the cut-out checked before purchasing. Browse the Gunmetal Sinks and wider Sink range before finalising the order.
