The Ultimate Guide to Single Bowl Laundry Sinks: Granite vs Stainless Steel at 2Magpies
Laundry day doesn’t have to be a chore. A well-designed single bowl laundry sink can turn your laundry into a highly efficient workspace — perfect for soaking sheets, hand-washing delicates, rinsing muddy boots, cleaning tools, or filling buckets. At 2Magpies.com.au, we stock a premium range of single bowl laundry sinks in both granite composite and stainless steel, built to handle Australian homes with style and durability.
In this guide, we compare granite laundry sinks and stainless steel laundry sinks, explain why a single bowl design is ideal for most laundries, and show why pairing your sink with a pull-out kitchen tap (commonly used in laundries) is a game-changer. We also cover topmount and undermount installation options.
Why Choose a Single Bowl Laundry Sink?
Unlike double-bowl sinks, a single bowl laundry sink provides one large, uninterrupted space — making it much better for bulky items. It’s ideal for:
- Soaking large loads like towels, bedding, or sports gear
- Hand-washing delicate clothing
- Cleaning gardening tools, pet bowls, or kids’ toys
- Rinsing paint brushes or filling mops and buckets
Our single bowl laundry sinks are deep, practical, and designed specifically for busy Australian households.
Granite Composite vs Stainless Steel Laundry Sinks
Granite Composite Single Bowl Sinks
Made from a tough blend of granite particles and resin, these sinks offer a modern matte finish in popular colours such as black, white, and grey. Key benefits include:
- Quiet operation with minimal noise
- Excellent resistance to scratches, stains, and heat
- Sleek, seamless look that hides daily wear
- Very easy to clean and maintain
Perfect if you want a premium, contemporary granite laundry sink.
Stainless Steel Single Bowl Sinks
Our stainless steel laundry sinks are extremely durable, hygienic, and offer great value. Available in brushed and other attractive finishes, they deliver:
- Superior impact resistance and longevity
- Naturally antibacterial surface
- Easy cleaning and long-lasting shine
- More affordable while still performing professionally
Topmount vs Undermount Laundry Sinks
Choosing the right mounting style is important for both looks and functionality:
- Topmount sinks sit on top of the benchtop — easier and faster to install, ideal for DIY renovations.
- Undermount sinks are fitted beneath the bench for a sleek, seamless finish with no raised edges — perfect for a modern, easy-to-clean look.
Many of our single bowl granite and stainless steel sinks are available in both topmount and undermount styles.
Why You Need a Pull-Out Kitchen Tap in Your Laundry
Many homeowners don’t realise that kitchen taps are often used in laundries because laundry tasks require the same flexibility and reach. A pull-out kitchen tap (also called a pull-out spray tap) is one of the best upgrades you can make.
The flexible hose lets you direct water exactly where you need it — reaching every corner of a deep single bowl, filling buckets on the floor, or rinsing larger items like prams or dog beds with ease.
At 2Magpies, we recommend pairing your single bowl laundry sink with a quality pull-out kitchen tap. Our range includes smooth, high-reach models with multiple spray modes and stylish finishes (matte black, brushed nickel, etc.) that complement both granite and stainless steel sinks.

Tips for Choosing the Right Laundry Sink and Tap
- Measure your cabinet and bench space carefully.
- Decide between topmount (easier install) or undermount (sleeker modern look).
- Choose granite for quiet luxury or stainless steel for maximum durability.
- Always pair your sink with a pull-out kitchen tap for full functionality.
- Match colours and finishes for a cohesive laundry design.
