Russian hoteliers replace 15–18 % of their sanitary ware every year, yet 62 % report chipping and dulling of white marble within 18 months of operation. A commercial engineered stone washbasin eliminates this pain: a blend of marble chips and modified resin withstands 1,200 thermal-shock cycles of +60 °C/–15 °C without loss of gloss. This guide explains why an engineered stone bathroom sink is becoming a must-have for AZIMUT, Hilton Garden Inn and Class-A condominiums, and how your hotel can cut the total cost of ownership (TCO) of the washroom by 22 %.

A 12 mm stone slab allows an integral drain with no dirt-trapping seam, cutting housekeeping labour by seven minutes per room. For an average inventory of 220 rooms this saves 25,600 ₽ per month in maid wages. Moreover, a custom stone wash basin OEM can embed the hotel logo directly into the material—branding without extra plaques. Our client Severnaya Korona in Sochi ordered 420 wholesale stone bathroom sinks with logo backlighting and gained a 4 % increase in repeat bookings: guests photograph the basin, post it in Stories and tag the hotel.
Most Russian distributors fear customs delays at Vostochny Port. We certified our commercial solid surface washbasin under TR EAEU 043/2017 and opened a 3,000 m² hub in Lyubertsy. Contracts for engineered stone sanitary ware are now fulfilled DDP Vnukovo: you receive finished goods with a conformity certificate and a Rospotrebnadzor hygiene report. A standard 40 HQ container holds 280 units (610 × 460 mm); at an FOB price of 89 $/unit the landed cost is 11,200 ₽ including 7.5 % duty and 20 % VAT. A comparable Spanish product costs 17,400 ₽ ex-stock Moscow.
A 4-star hotel (180 rooms) replaces outdated ceramic basins.
Investment: 180 × 11,200 ₽ = 2,016,000 ₽
Cleaning savings: 7 min × 180 rooms × 365 days × 250 ₽/hr = 956,000 ₽/year
Chipping write-off reduction: 12 % of inventory instead of 35 %, saving 580,000 ₽/year
Annual cash-flow uplift: +1,536,000 ₽
Pay-back: 2,016,000 ÷ 1,536,000 = 1.31 years, verified by Deloitte CIS for the Park Inn chain.
