Built for the way your kitchen actually works
A sink unit should do more than hold water. It needs to fit the room, stand up to daily scraping and rinsing, and keep staff moving without crowding the pass or the prep line. We make custom sinks for back-of-house wash-up, veg prep, utensil washing and small sculleries where every millimetre counts.
Our sink units are commonly specified in 304 stainless steel for general food service use, with 1.2 mm top skins and 1.0 mm to 1.2 mm bowl sections depending on the duty. For harsher cleaning routines or coastal sites, we can advise on the right finish and support details so the unit lasts. The aim is practical durability, not overbuilding for the sake of it.
- Single, double or triple bowl layouts
- Left-hand or right-hand drain boards
- Undershelves, splash backs and wall returns
- Oversized bowls for stock pots and trays
- Compact units for tight scullery spaces
What is included with a custom sink order
Every order starts with the space and the job. A wash-up sink for a takeaway in Benoni will not be set out the same way as a prep sink for a school kitchen in Germiston. We look at drainage points, wall clearance, floor falls and the working height so the finished unit fits properly and drains cleanly.
Depending on the brief, a custom sink can include welded bowls, splash backs, tap holes, drainers, pot shelves, chemical-resistant waste positions and bracing for heavy use. We can also make the unit to match existing counters or line up with adjoining benches so there is no awkward step in the run.
- Site measuring and practical layout advice
- Made-to-size stainless fabrication
- Tap hole positions to suit your plumbing
- Waste outlet planning and bowl depth guidance
- Optional matching prep tables or splash backs
How we handle the process from measure to fit
The process is simple and it keeps mistakes down. First we confirm the site dimensions and the use case. Next we finalise the drawing or layout notes, then fabrication begins in our Benoni base. For clients in Boksburg, Brakpan, Springs, Kempton Park and Germiston, we can work from site photos and measurements where suitable, or arrange a visit if the job needs a more exact check.
Once the unit is built, we inspect the welds, edges and support points before dispatch. If the sink is part of a larger refit, we can coordinate it with servery counters, prep tables or extractor canopy work so the kitchen is not shut down longer than necessary. In most cases, the biggest delay is plumbing readiness on site, not fabrication.
- Initial enquiry and use-case discussion
- Site measure or dimension verification
- Drawing confirmation and pricing approval
- Fabrication, quality check and packing
- Delivery, fitment support or collection
Turnaround times for local and national supply
Turnaround depends on size, bowl count and whether the sink is part of a wider stainless package. Simple single-bowl units can move faster than full scullery banks with drainers and undershelves. As a guide, standard custom sinks are usually completed in a practical workshop window of around 7 to 15 working days after approval, while more detailed units may take longer if they include special bends, heavier gauges or coordinated fittings.
Because we serve the East Rand and deliver nationally, we also plan around transport timing. A straightforward delivery to Benoni, Boksburg or Springs is easier to schedule than a long-distance run, but we pack every item properly either way so the stainless arrives ready for installation. If a site is on a tight reopening date, let us know early and we will work through the sequence with you.
Pricing based on size, steel grade and fittings
Custom sink pricing is shaped by the size of the unit, the number of bowls, steel thickness, support framing and the amount of cut-outs or plumbing preparation required. A compact hand wash sink is priced very differently from a triple-bowl scullery unit with drain boards and a full splash back. We quote on the actual requirement, not a guess.
That approach helps when you are comparing options for a busy takeaway, clinic, school or restaurant kitchen. If you only need a replacement sink for an existing opening, we can price to suit the available space. If the layout is changing, we factor in the new workflow so the money goes into the right features first. No hidden extras, and no wasteful add-ons you do not need.
For larger projects in the East Rand, it can be worth bundling the sink with prep tables or counter modifications, because the transport and site setup are then shared across the order. That keeps the overall project cost steadier.
Cleaning and maintenance that keep stainless working harder
A well-made sink still needs regular care. In a commercial kitchen, daily wash-down, food acids and chemical residue can mark the surface if it is neglected. We recommend a quick clean after every service, a fuller inspection once a week and a closer check every 3 to 6 months on joints, wastes and support legs. On coastal deliveries or in high-humidity prep rooms, keeping the area dry overnight helps reduce spotting.
Use non-abrasive cleaners and soft cloths where possible, and avoid leaving chlorine products sitting on the steel for long periods. If the sink has an undershelf or boxed base, make sure water is not pooling underneath. A little attention prevents rust staining, loose sealant and drain issues later, which matters when the kitchen is already dealing with load-shedding and a full service rush.
- Daily wipe down after service
- Weekly check of wastes and tap fittings
- 3 to 6 month inspection of seals and weld areas
- Immediate attention for dents, leaks or loose legs
