In 1976 Bates and Bates began to import and distribute solid brass and solid copper sinks and lavatory basins for the building market. As time passed, new designs, sizes and finishes were added to reflect emerging design trends.

As interest in decorative products grew, Bates and Bates added natural stone and porcelain ceramic to its range of materials for sinks and lavatory basins.

Special installations and changing design trends led to the creation of the Problem Solver Collection of sinks and lavatories. These bowls were designed to solve problem situations where size and style are limiting factors. Many of these special bowls are not only used in the home, they are used in boats, motor homes and airplanes. No other manufacturer features such a wide variety of special types of basins.

Today's design trends can feature any style from antique rustic to high-tech and contemporary. Regardless of your design scheme, Bates and Bates has a perfect sink or lavatory basin for your home.
