Half Bowl Kitchen Sinks

A half bowl is designed to sit alongside a standard single-bowl undermount to add prep and rinsing space without taking over your main sink. Most half bowls in this range are 0.5-bowl formats and come in compact lengths (around 100–299 mm) and widths commonly between 300–499 mm, so you can position it on the side you use for prep or draining. If you mainly rinse vegetables, put the half bowl on the side nearest your hob or food prep area; if you use it for rinsing plates before the dishwasher, place it next to the dishwasher. Match the bowl's waste position and width to the gap beside your main sink to ensure a neat fit.

Stainless steel (the Reginox Comfort) is tough, hygienic and budget-friendly, making it ideal for busy, contemporary kitchens. Granite composite (such as the Reginox Elleci Quadra 16 Black Spek) gives a matt, stone-like finish that resists heat and hides marks, so it suits modern or natural-stone worktops. Fireclay (like the RAK Julia and Julie) offers a glossy, classic look that resists staining and stays looking pristine, but it's heavier and often more expensive. Pick the material that matches your kitchen style and how you use the sink: stainless for utility, granite for a premium matt look, fireclay for traditional elegance.

Some models do include a waste, the Reginox Comfort and the Reginox Elleci products in our range mention a waste included, but not every product will. You should check the individual product description to confirm what's supplied before you buy. If a waste isn't included, you'll need a compatible waste outlet and seal that matches the sink's bowl diameter and waste position. Having a supplied waste is convenient and ensures the components are matched.

Colour and finish shape both aesthetics and maintenance: black Spek granite creates a bold contrast against pale worktops and tends to conceal marks, white fireclay gives a clean, traditional appearance and highlights a shaker-style kitchen, while silver stainless steel suits modern, professional kitchens but can show watermarks and fine scratches. Think about the finish with your worktop, a granite composite half bowl pairs well with stone surfaces, whereas fireclay complements tiled or painted cabinetry. Choose the finish that balances the look you want with how much cleaning you're prepared to do.

Measure the available side space beside your main sink or the area where you want the half bowl, noting width and length in millimetres; the options here typically sit in the 300–499 mm width range and 100–299 mm length range. Also confirm the depth and waste position on the product page so the plumbing lines up with your existing waste pipe. if you have 400 mm of countertop beside a 500 mm main sink, select a half bowl around the 400 mm width band to sit neatly beside it.
