Sink for standalone 600mm unit

TheGreenFrog

I have a very small utility room with a standalone 600mm kitchen unit.  I want to put a sink on top of the unit but cutting out such a small worktop for a sink seems crazy/tricky.  Ikea used to do a one piece sink and 600mm wide stainless steel worktop (Ammeran onset sink) which would be ideal for my situation but it has been discontinued.  I have looked for similar but cannot find anything so wondered if anyone has any ideas?  Thank you.

We have a ceramic one described as a laboratory sink. Ordered on line from somewhere in Dorset I recall.

Cutting it out won't be tricky, it being strong enough to support the weight could be a problem. 

Something like https://www.diy.com/departments/berkfield-kitchen-sink-with-drainer-set-silver-600x600x155-mm-stainless-steel/7720286045350_BQ.prd

Would a basin type that sits on top of the unit work? Or is it too tall?

Good idea but too tall as the boiler is above.

Search for a stainless steel utility room sink. A deep bowl (handy for buckets, soaking laundry etc) and without a drainer will work.

Also worth considering a round bowl, as these are often smaller.  As an example -

If the worktop is the same width (600mm) as the unit then you need a fairly narrow sink so there's still enough of the worktop left either side to be strong enough - cutting it so there's only a very narrow strip of wood remaining each side will make the worktop fragile, so take extra care with handling.  I'd probably temporarily screw a couple of 4x1"s to the underside of the worktop as the cutting progresses to give it extra support until it is installed - or else do the cutting after fixing it to the unit, if that is a possibility.

What about something commercial like this? https://adexa.co.uk/Commercial-Sink-with-Cupboard-Stainless-steel-1-bowl-Splashback-Width-600mm-Depth-600mm-Adexa-VSC66BS

Would a sink that is usually fitted in a touring caravan or RV be any good?
