In a very small bathroom, all the available space is precious. It is not possible to waste it by leaving the corners free and one of the most cumbersome bathroom fixtures is the sink.
It is useful not only in small bathrooms but also in long and narrow bathrooms, where placing the bathroom fixtures facing each other means creating uncomfortable “bottlenecks”.
In addition to the traditional space-saving hand basins with wall drains, still very useful for very small bathrooms, today you can choose from many suspended models without visible drains.
The new corner washbasins adapt to all styles, but always with an eye to space. In this article we will talk about the most popular models, from ceramic ones to natural stone ones, comparing sizes and, of course, prices.
Corner bathroom sink: prices
The classic corner sink has prices ranging from 37 euros upwards, referring to ceramic items with wall drain.
Those who do not like to leave the drain exposed can take a suspended corner sink, which costs around 95 euros. Alternatively, the drain can be covered with a storage unit: in this case, the cost rises to 150 euros.
Installation costs
In addition to the cost of the sink, you have to consider the installation costs, around 100 euros.
If the preparation for the sink is off-center with respect to the connection of the sink (there is a tolerance of about 10 cm) you will necessarily have to break the wall and move it so that it corresponds to the drain hole.
Moving a plumbing point even a few cm can cost as much as 500 euros since you have to break the wall, move the attachment and restore the tiling. If the gap is minimal, you can avoid work by choosing an asymmetrical or rectangular sink.

Save on the corner sink
One of the most classic ways to save when buying a single sanitary is to buy it online. This allows you to choose among the proposals of retailers all over the country and to find sinks on offer at competitive prices.
And for the installation?
Those who sell online often also offer an installation service. If this is not the case, we advise you to compare the prices of plumbing companies in your area, since the installation of the sanitary ware depends a lot on the labor costs in the different locations.
Comparing multiple quotes allows you to
- get an idea of the average prices in your area;
- find plumbers available to negotiate installation costs.
Some companies have agreements with sanitary ware retailers and may help you find the model you want at a discounted price.

Corner sink: measurements
When buying a corner sink, size matters. You have to take the measurements well or the installation can be difficult. For example, we have seen that, if the sink is not well centered with respect to the drain, it could often get clogged and not work well.
Using a mason’s tape measure, we recommend that you write down
- available space size *
- distance between wall and drain
- height of the discharge from the ground
- distance from the ground of any furniture suspended above the sink (shelves, mirrors)
- frontal dimensions **
* (from the corner of the bathroom to the nearest cabinet / sanitary)
** (width of the wall perpendicular to the sink – depth of the furniture / sanitary ware placed in front of the sink)

Corner sinks for bathrooms, some examples
We often talked about how to decorate bathrooms particularly, from the very small bathroom to a square bathroom. Corner sinks save the day in many of these cases but are not always greeted with joy by those who have to redo the bathroom.
Fortunately, the new models have a nice, modern design and fit well with any style. Here are the most common types of corner sinks with dimensions and prices.

- Width 70 cm
- Depth 55 cm
- Height 21 cm
Asymmetrical corner washbasin

Standard sizes are
- Width 75 cm
- Depth 50 cm

Corner bathroom sink with decentralized basin
The corner washbasin with a decentralized basin, positioned to the right or left according to the needs, makes it easier to use the washbasin and in addition, allows for a small lateral support surface.

Corner washbasin with rectangular cabinet
The rectangular washbasin is a precious aid in narrow bathrooms, where there is a need for sanitary fittings with reduced depth.

The dimensions are

Corner washbasin in natural stone
Natural stone washbasins are in great demand for country house renovations, due to their rustic yet refined appearance.
