So, I've mentioned I have a super ugly green sink in the master bathroom. When I measured it seemed to be about 18-7/8".
I'll have to find a better pic at some point, but it's ugly. There is a slight curve to the flat part at the back of the sink. It looked like the measurement was between 18-7/8 to 18-15/16 or possibly 19". Had trouble measuring with the bevel. I believe this is a cast iron sink covered in green glazed porcelain. The green always makes it look dirty even when it's clean (which it was not in this picture). I tried to measure the depth of the sink from the rim to the lowest point in the bowl and it came out somewhere around 5-3/4" deep or so But there is an overflow at the front of the sink and the front of the bowl slopes upward so I don't know overflow depth. I have trouble seeing the lines on the measuring tape so I'm ballparking on this. I forgot to get inside measurements because my back was hurting leaning down to measure this low. I will try to get those later.
The faucet has since been replaced with a Moen Caldwell that has a 4-3/4" spout reach. It pours directly over the drain of the existing sink.
The ultimate goal is to raise the countertop up about 4" (using 2x4s & furring strips). We will also be recovering the counter with a different laminate that doesn't have green in it. There is a possibility we might replace the entire countertop if there are problems, but I'd like to re-use this one if possible. The countertop is 72-1/8" wide and 24" deep. We want to go with a white sink and keep a similar shape/size.
I was thinking of getting a cheap $40 sink but reviews were terrible & they said things like the holes were drilled crooked so sink didn't align properly, etc. I don't want to go with super cheap crappy kind but I don't want to go super expensive either. So, I'm looking at some sinks under $100.
Right now I have two options I'm considering: The Sterling Modesto and the Kohler Bryant. I know both are really the same company.
Sterling Modesto 19" round, inside bowl width 15-3/4" length 12-5/8". Water depth (from overflow) 4-7/8. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Sterling-Modesto-19-in-Drop-In-Bathroom-Sink-in-White-441904-0/31862145
Kohler Bryant 18.875" roud, inside bowl width 16-5/16" length 12-1/2", water depth (from overflow 5-5/8) Needs 5" long reach on faucet spout. https://www.lowes.com/pd/KOHLER-Bryant-White-Drop-In-Round-Bathroom-Sink-with-Overflow-Drain/4776409
I was leaning toward the Bryant because it seemed to have a deeper soaking depth and seems closer to the size of the existing one. It fit in my Sketchup model rather nicely. Couldn't find a model of the Modesto but that is not a big deal.
Not the final colors, just wanted to spice it up in Sketchup. Might do the applique to match the cabinets-- it's only there to break up the ugly empty space.
Now, I know it says it needs 5" reach but I'm wondering if the existing faucet would still work. If not, worst case I could swap it out with the faucet meant for the guest bathroom (a Delta Porter faucet).
The Modesto specs did not indicate positioning of the holes (Bryant said they are 2-11/16" from the back edge) and did not specify faucet reach.
So, any thoughts/suggestions? I would like as deep of a basin as I can get without going farmhouse sink style & stick as close to the overall size of the existing sink. I can make the hole larger if need be. I can fill in to make it smaller also (or replace the countertop).
