    Is this called a sink in the US? I thought the kitchen sink and the bathroom basin are the correct names, but might be UK specific…

      In the US we call bathroom sinks sinks as well. I’ve heard basin before, I wouldn’t be confused by it, but it’s not really the standard.

      Prior to reading this I may have assumed “basin” referred to sinks that are standalone on pedestals as opposed to ones built into counter tops.
