Best kitchen sink options for acrylic worktops: Exploring integrated, undermount and top mount sinks
When choosing a worktop for your new kitchen, it’s vital to select your sink and draining board combo at the same time. Why? Because if you don’t, you could miss out on some clever designs that will make your kitchen look fantastic.
This blog explores the kitchen sink options available for acrylic worktops and highlights their benefits. We also look at some popular sinks, taps, and sleek integrated drainers.
Integrated sinks for acrylic worktops
An integrated sink is a sink that’s seamlessly integrated into a worktop’s surface. To achieve this, the sink and worktop are made from the same material to form a unified and continuous surface without visible edges or seams.
There are two main benefits of choosing integrated kitchen sink options. The first is that they’re aesthetically pleasing, with a streamlined and cohesive look that enhances the overall appearance of your kitchen. Secondly, cleaning and maintenance are a lot easier compared to traditional sink and drainer combos. This is because there are no gaps or crevices where dirt, grime or water can accumulate.
Acrylic integrated sinks
Integrated kitchen sink options are available for all our acrylic worktop brands, which we supply and install with your worktop. And you can rest assured that the sinks offer beauty, functionality, and durability, just like the worktops. They’re stain and impact-resistant, easy to clean, seamless and repairable. Which makes them the perfect sink option for your kitchen.
Below, we look at the most popular sinks for each acrylic brand.

The metal has a protective, insulating powder coating called Insusound, which helps retain water temperature.
1810 Axix sink bottoms are available in stainless steel, copper, gunmetal, gold brass and matte black effects in square and rectangular designs. We can supply and install them with any of our worktop brands.

Undermount sinks for acrylic worktops
Undermount sinks are like integrated sinks sitting below the worktop’s surface. They also allow the sink to blend into its surroundings, so it’s easier on the eye and easy to clean. But, unlike integrated options, the sink is made from a different material than the worktop.
Blanco undermount sinks
We supply and install three styles of Blanco undermount sinks. The SUBLINE sink is made from silgranit— a composite material made from 80% natural quartz mixed with acrylic resin – and comes in nine colours. Then there’s the VILLAE FARMHOUSE and BELFAST sinks. Both are farmhouse/classic kitchen sink options in white ceramic.
SUBLINE
– anthracite
VILLAE FARMHOUSE
double – in white
BELFAST
– in white
Caple undermount sinks
Our Caple range has seven undermount sinks, including four styles of ceramic sinks, one black steel and two stainless steel sinks.
ETTRA 600
– in ceramic
MODE 3145
– in black steel
ZERO 55
– in stainless steel
Top mount sinks for acrylic worktops
Top mount, or drop-in, is the term used for sinks that sit over or above the worktop. They drop into a pre-cut hole, and the sink’s rim or lip sits on top of the work surface. This creates a visible edge between the sink and the surrounding countertop, serving as a decorative element by adding a defined border to the sink area.
Blanco top mount sinks
We supply and fit four styles of Blanco top-mount sinks. There are the stainless steel ANDANO and CLASSIC sinks, the traditional ceramic white PANOR sink, and the brushed steel SOLIS sink.
ANDANO 340/180-U
– in stainless steel
CLASSIC 40 S
– in stainless steel
PANOR
– ceramic white
SOLIS 340/180U
– brushed steel
Caple top mount sinks
There is just one top-mount sink in our Caple range. It’s a beautiful ceramic sink – perfect for a farmhouse or country kitchen.
Cheshire 760
– ceramic
Integrated draining
If you choose an integrated or undermount sink, the perfect solution for draining is drainer grooves or a recessed drainer cut from your worktop’s surface. The recess or grooves are strategically placed to create channels that allow water to flow directly into the sink. And because they’re the same colour and material as your worktop, they blend seamlessly into the kitchen, providing a sleek look.
Kitchen taps
Your kitchen tap is one of the final finishing touches that can make your kitchen stunning.
We supply and install taps from the 1810 Axix, Blanco and Caple ranges, many designed to match the sinks. However, all taps will look equally beautiful when teamed with any kitchen sink options mentioned.
Here are a few of our favourites:
1810 Axix Cascata
square spout – chrome
1810 Axix Spirale Spring
– copper
Blanco Evol-S pro hot

Blanco Candor Twin
– brushed stainless steel
