Just wondering what people think of this if you saw it in someones bathroom :)

I wouldn’t think anything I don’t think. It’s a more old fashioned style but it’s not anything so out of the ordinary that I’d give it a second thought.

Is there something wrong with it? I think depends if the rest of the bathroom matches. it’s not a modern sink but the older fashioned ones do have quite a charm about them ;)

I would have zero thoughts. Standard sink.

I would think I bet that is a bugger to clean!

Why has it got 3 taps?

I’d think it was old fashioned.

I don't especially like them myself, but if it went with the other things I wouldn't think anything of it. If everything else was really modern I'd find it a bit odd.

It doesn't 😂it has 2 taps & a spout

Oh I see. Don't think I've ever seen a basin like that!

I don’t think it looks worth £650 my assumption was budget range.

its just ive seen something similar for about £100 so im just wondering if anyone would look at this and think oh that sink must have cost more than £500. I was originally looking at a Thomas Crapper one but i dont understand their website

@Dumdidums it's gorgeous and especially if you live in an old Victorian house.

im just wondering if anyone would look at this and think oh that sink must have cost more than £500

No. No one will think that. Because it’s weird to cost up bathroom sinks (unless you work for B&Q et al).

Looks traditional and vaguely edwardian/ 1920's to me. Stayed in a castle once with a mahoosive bathroom where all the fittings were in a similar style, they looked completely at home and felt quite grand to use. Live in a 30's terrace which would probably originally have had something similar, but that style would no longer work in our space. Certainly do some price comparison if that's the style for you, as it does seem £££ for what it is, or maybe see whats available via salvage yards.

No, it’s a very outdated design. I’d assume it is pre-renovation, not post renovation

It doesn’t look out of the ordinary, but not my taste , unless you had an Edwardian house it would look pretentious

I would think a historian council home.

Old fashioned and ugly. Sorry

We have similar. I dont expect people look at things in my bathroom and price them up.

But I dont care whether they do or not.

Does anyone seriously go in someone else’s bathroom and give any thought to what the sink might have cost? The only time I can imagine anyone thinking about it would be if they are renovating their own house and thought they may be interested in a similar style, but I’d think that would be unusual.

Beautiful. It’s a design that’s stood the test of time and still appearing in almost every bathroom showroom (amongst all the ugly modern square ones that’ll date far sooner)

Where do you live & how old are you?

all bathroom sinks were like this when I was growing up in the uk, but I'm 55 now.

Assuming in keeping with rest of room. I would think stylish person. Nice bathroom.

The only time I’d wonder about the cost of a sink would be if it was a very unique design.
This is just a very standard, if a bit more old fashioned, sink.
