How to Choose a Laundry Sink or Trough

A laundry sink should suit both the available space and the jobs you regularly do. A compact sink can preserve valuable bench and storage space, while a larger or deeper trough is more practical for soaking clothes, filling buckets, hand washing or cleaning household items.

Before ordering, check the cabinet dimensions, benchtop layout, plumbing and washing-machine connections rather than choosing by bowl size alone. MBS offers standalone sinks and complete laundry units, including the 20L trough-and-cabinet unit and 35L trough-and-cabinet unit. Compare the actual footprint and listed components for the selected model.

Sink Only or Trough with Cabinet?

A trough-and-cabinet unit can simplify a straightforward renovation because the sink and storage are already designed to work together. A sink-only option gives you more flexibility when building custom cabinetry or creating a continuous benchtop.

Consider what needs to fit underneath the sink, including waste pipes, washing-machine connections and storage. If bench space is important, avoid choosing a larger bowl than your household actually needs.

Compare the Cabinet and Included Fittings

The current range includes MDF cabinet laundry units and PVC cabinet laundry units as separate options. Check the stated cabinet construction, door arrangement, overall height and service access for the model you are considering; do not infer identical moisture performance or included fittings across the range.

Check whether the listing supplies a basket waste, bypass components or other fittings, and whether the mixer is separate. A sink-only product requires its own compatible cabinetry or support. The basket waste shown separately in this collection is a fitting, not a complete trough.

Topmount or Undermount?

A topmount sink drops into the benchtop from above and is practical for many renovations. An undermount sink sits below the benchtop for a cleaner edge and makes wiping water into the bowl easier, but it requires a suitable benchtop and accurate fabrication.

Choose the sink before your cabinetmaker makes the final cut-out wherever possible. You can compare suitable undermount sinks if you are planning stone or another compatible surface.

Plan Tapware and Washing-Machine Connections

Check whether the sink has a tap landing or whether the mixer will mount through the benchtop. A taller or pull-out mixer can be useful for deep troughs, buckets and general cleaning. MBS offers sink mixers for kitchen and laundry applications.

Also confirm how your washing machine will connect. Selected laundry units list bypass components and side-entry provisions, but the connection route and supplied kit are model-specific. Have your plumber check the product drawing. If required, choose compatible washing machine taps before plumbing is completed.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What size laundry sink or trough should I choose?

Choose the size according to available cabinet space and how you use the laundry. A compact sink can work well in apartments, small laundries or spaces where bench area is more important. A deeper 35L or 45L trough provides more room for soaking clothes, filling buckets, hand washing and cleaning larger household items. Check both the overall dimensions and internal bowl capacity before ordering. If you need a broader comparison, browse the full Laundry Sinks & Troughs collection or the wider Sinks collection.

2. Should I choose a laundry trough with a cabinet or a sink only?

A trough and cabinet combination is convenient when you want the sink, storage and cabinet planned as one unit. It can be particularly practical for straightforward laundry renovations or replacement projects. A sink-only design gives you more flexibility to integrate the bowl into custom cabinetry and a continuous benchtop. Before deciding, consider storage needs, cabinet width, benchtop design and existing plumbing. The current Laundry Sinks & Troughs range includes both standalone sinks and complete trough-and-cabinet options. For additional sink styles, browse the main Sinks collection.

3. Topmount or undermount laundry sink: which should I choose?

A topmount or drop-in sink is installed from above the benchtop with a visible rim. It is practical for many laundry renovations and can suit a wider range of benchtop materials. An undermount sink sits beneath the benchtop for a cleaner appearance and makes it easier to wipe water directly into the bowl, but it generally requires a suitable benchtop and accurate fabrication. Some MBS laundry sinks are suitable for either installation method. Confirm the installation method with your cabinetmaker or benchtop supplier before the final cut-out is made.

4. What is a washing machine bypass, and do I need one?

A laundry bypass provision relates to the washing-machine discharge connection, but its connection route and supplied components depend on the trough model. Selected MBS trough-and-cabinet listings mention a bypass kit and side-entry provisions. Check the actual product drawing and ask your plumber to confirm the hose route, waste connection and required fittings before ordering. Do not assume that every cabinet unit includes the same kit or uses the same connection arrangement.

Select compatible washing machine taps and sink waste accessories separately where required.

5. What tapware should I choose for a laundry sink?

First check whether the sink has a pre-drilled tap hole, tap landing or no tap hole. A sink with a tap hole can accept a compatible deck-mounted mixer, while other designs may require the mixer to be installed through the benchtop. For deep laundry bowls, choose a mixer with enough height and reach to make filling buckets and rinsing the sink comfortable. A swivel spout or pull-out function can also be useful for larger troughs. Compare suitable Sink Mixers and Washing Machine Taps when planning the sink and washing-machine connections together.

6. Do I need to buy a waste or overflow separately?

It depends on the individual sink or trough. Some laundry units include a basket waste or bypass kit, while other sinks require compatible waste components to be selected separately. The current MBS range includes many sinks without an overflow, so do not assume every laundry sink uses the same waste arrangement. Check the product specification for waste size, overflow configuration and included components before ordering. You can browse Sink Waste & Accessories for compatible options or review the complete Laundry Sinks & Troughs range.

7. What should I measure before ordering a laundry sink or trough?

Measure the available width, depth and height, but also check the cabinet interior, benchtop depth and plumbing locations. Allow enough room underneath for the bowl, waste pipes, washing-machine connections and any storage you want to retain. For a replacement sink, measure the existing benchtop cut-out as well as the outside dimensions. For a complete trough-and-cabinet unit, check nearby walls, doors, washing machines and appliances so the unit can be positioned comfortably. If your layout is still being planned, compare the Laundry Sinks & Troughs range together with suitable Sink Mixers before cabinetry is finalised.
