Why Should I Consider Having Two Bathroom Sinks?

While it's been said that two heads are better than one, are two bathroom sinks better than one? When designing or renovating a bathroom, you have tons of decisions to make, involving the colour scheme, décor, and so on. One of these decisions is whether to have one or two sinks in your bathroom. While it may seem more practical to include one, there are definitely some valid situations for adding an extra basin to your bathroom. Here are some tips to get it done:

1. Two sinks are perfect for working couples or large families

Time can be a precious commodity in the morning when everyone's heading out to school and work. The situation can create a scene that resembles a tag-team wrestling match, as family members jockey for position. Obviously, this isn't the most efficient situation for everyone's routine. Fortunately, adding a second bathroom sink can help to alleviate the bathroom traffic.

2. Verify that you have enough space

When installing an extra sink, you'll need enough space for the plumbing and cabinets. Get out your tape measure and start determining how practical it would be. You'll need a minimum of 30 inches between the two sinks' centres. It's also important that the second sink's height is no more than six inches higher than the existing sink. And when there's a top-to-bottom stack of drawers between the two sinks, you'll require two individual drains and traps.

3. Be read to troubleshoot

Here are some issues that you may need to deal with, when adding an additional basin to your bathroom:

•There should be a minimum of one foot between the basin's centre and the closest wall

•After installing the second sink, run water into the sink in order to test it

•In the case that the sink is across from a toilet or bathtub, you'll need at least 30 inches of space between the basin and the other fixture

•Learn the legal requirements for the swing of the main bathroom door and shower door

4. Install the second sink near the first one when possible

The main reason is that you won't need to make any cuts into the wall, when you link the drain system.

5. Consider transforming a table or sideboard into two sinks

While this creates a unique look that can brighten up a bathroom, you should consider a few noteworthy limitations. The sinks will be close together, so the amount of elbow room will be limited. Another disadvantage is that the sinks will be limited to the height of the table.

6. Consider hiring a plumber

You may have the best intentions as a fan of Do-It-Yourself projects. However, if you have any doubts about your ability to do the project, consider hiring a plumber to add the second sink. The costs will be relatively low, and the project can be done within a couple of days.

When one sink isn't enough in your bathroom, consider adding a second one. These tips will help you to get it done quickly and efficiently, and end the morning chaos around your home's bathrooms.

How hard is it to fix a leak under a bathroom sink?

Our bathroom sink is leaking where the trap meets the pipe that goes into the wall. How can we tell what size the pipe is? What special tools (if any) are needed? Thank you.

Bathroom sink traps are either 1 1/4" or 1 1/2". Tools needed would be channellock type pliers if you cannot unscrew the slip joints by hand. Possible leaks could be: the slip joint washer might have failed. Replace it with a new one. Make sure that you install it with the tapered end going into the wall connection. If the trap was hit, it might have just pulled out of the wall joint enough to leak. The pipe may be split. Replace if that is the case.
