Porcelain Basins FAQs

What is better, a ceramic or porcelain sink?

Porcelain sinks are generally denser, stronger and more resistant to scratches and stains compared to standard ceramic basins. They offer a smoother, harder finish, ideal for long-term bathroom use and high-traffic households seeking both durability and refined aesthetics.

How long does a porcelain sink last?

A quality porcelain sink can last several decades with proper care. Its non-porous surface resists wear, moisture and colour fading, allowing it to maintain its smooth finish and elegant appearance even after years of daily use.

Are porcelain basins easy to clean?

Yes. Porcelain basins feature a naturally smooth, non-porous surface that resists soap scum, dirt and hard-water deposits. Most cleaning routines only require mild detergent and a soft cloth, making them a low-maintenance choice for busy households.

Do porcelain basins crack easily?

Porcelain basins are fired at very high temperatures, giving them excellent strength and resistance to everyday impact. While no basin is completely unbreakable, quality porcelain models at MyHomeware are highly durable and rarely crack under normal bathroom use.

How do I choose the right porcelain basin?

When choosing a porcelain basin, consider:

  • Shape: Oval for softness, square for structure, round for compact spaces, or special shapes for artistic flair.
  • Size: Match the basin dimensions to your vanity width and bathroom layout.
  • Style: Choose colours and finishes that complement your tapware and décor.
  • Use needs: Deeper basins suit family bathrooms; compact ones fit powder rooms.
  • Installation type: Ensure the basin aligns with your bench cut-out or countertop design.
