Kitchen Sinks in Lagos: stainless steel, granite & smart sinks
The kitchen sink works harder than anything else in a Nigerian kitchen — pounded yam pots, big soup pots, party cooking. Find stainless steel, granite, handmade and smart waterfall sinks at our Odun-Ade showroom, with the mixer and waste to match.

- Stainless, handmade & granite

Types of kitchen sinks we sell
- Stainless steel sinks — tough, hygienic and easy to maintain. Available as pressed sinks and thicker handmade sinks with sharp, modern corners. See stainless steel sinks.
- Granite (composite) sinks — rich colours such as black and grey, a stone-like feel and a surface that hides scratches. See granite sinks.
- Smart and waterfall sinks — complete kitchen stations with a waterfall spout, pull-down spray, cup rinser, knife holder and, on some models, a digital display. See smart sinks.
Single bowl, double bowl or with drainer?
| Layout | Best for | Think about |
|---|---|---|
| Single bowl | Small kitchens, flats, and washing big pots | One large bowl fits big pots easily |
| Double bowl | Families — wash in one bowl, rinse or soak in the other | Needs a wider cabinet |
| With drainer | Drying plates without a separate rack | Takes more worktop space |

Measure before you buy
- Measure the inside width of the sink cabinet — the sink must sit on it with room for the rim.
- If your worktop is already cut, measure the cut-out (length × width) and the worktop thickness.
- Decide between top-mount (the sink sits on the worktop) and under-mount (the sink is fixed under a stone worktop).
- Check if the sink has a tap hole or if the mixer will go on the worktop.

A sink built for Nigerian cooking
Our kitchens cook big: large soup pots, the pot for pounded yam or eba, trays for party jollof, and plenty of plates when family visits. A sink that looks nice in a catalogue can feel small in a real Nigerian kitchen. When you choose, think about how you actually cook:
- Deep bowls stop water splashing when you wash big pots — look at the depth, not just the width.
- One large bowl is often more useful than two small ones if you wash big pots every day.
- A double bowl lets you soak or defrost in one side while you wash in the other.
- A drainer gives plates somewhere to dry if you do not have space for a rack.
- A pull-down spray makes rinsing pots, vegetables and the sink itself much faster.
If you are also choosing a worktop, a granite or quartz-look worktop with an under-mount sink gives a seamless, easy-to-wipe finish — see marble and granite in Lagos.
Don’t forget the mixer and the waste
A sink is only as good as its tap. Choose a pull-down mixer for rinsing big pots, a flexible-neck mixer for a modern look, or a wall pot-filler beside the cooker. Make sure your sink comes with, or you buy, the basket strainer waste and overflow kit. See kitchen taps and sink mixers and kitchen cabinet fittings.
Complete the kitchen
We also supply cooker hoods and built-in gas cookers — including black-glass and curved-glass hoods with touch display — so your whole kitchen can match. For gold sinks and taps, see the Luxury Collection.
Caring for your sink
- Rinse and wipe dry after use to prevent water marks, especially with borehole water.
- Use mild soap; avoid steel wool on stainless and granite.
- Scrape food into the bin, not down the drain, to avoid blockages.
