Single Bowl Kitchen Sinks UK: Sizes & Buying Guide

Why Choose a Single Bowl Kitchen Sink?

A single bowl kitchen sink is the practical choice for most UK kitchens: one large basin gives you room to soak trays, wash pots and stack drying racks without the divider getting in the way. It's also the easiest option to fit into a standard base unit, whether you're renovating a compact galley kitchen or upgrading a family kitchen worktop. All the sinks below are made by Ukinox in polished stainless steel, chosen for scratch resistance and an easy-clean finish that copes well with daily use.

Sizes and Styles to Match Your Worktop

Before you buy, measure your existing cut-out or the base unit width, and decide between an undermount kitchen sink (fixed beneath the worktop for a seamless look, ideal with granite or solid surface tops) and a traditional inset sink that drops straight into a laminate or wood worktop. Bowl depth matters too — anything from 150mm upwards will comfortably fit a stockpot, while a shallower bowl suits households who mostly hand-wash smaller items.

Our Top Single Bowl Sink Picks

For larger households or anyone who cooks in bulk, the Ukinox Micro Master MM 1000.510 (1000×510mm) at £199.00 gives you the most bowl space in the range, with left- and right-hand drainer options to suit either side of your worktop. A step down in size, the Ukinox Micro Series ME 500 (500×400mm) is priced at £145.00 and works well in a standard 600mm base unit.

If you're fitting under a worktop rather than into one, the Ukinox D 400/R50 undermount sink (400×400mm) at £90.00 is our most affordable undermount option. For tighter spaces, the Ukinox Micro Series ME 400 (400×440mm) is £108.00, and the compact Ukinox Micro Series ME 340.340 (380×380mm) at £77.00 is a good fit for a utility room or small kitchen.

A Quick Buying Guide

Stick to a gauge of 1.0mm stainless steel or thicker if you want a sink that resists denting and dampens noise — all the Ukinox sinks here meet that standard. Check the tap hole position matches your chosen mixer tap, and if you're going undermount, confirm your worktop fabricator can cut and polish the edge before the sink arrives. Pair any of these with a coordinating mixer from our taps collection for a finished look.
