What is a portable sink rental?
A portable sink is a self-contained unit with its own fresh water tank, a wastewater tank underneath, and a working faucet. No hookup needed. Henderson Porta Pros stocks units with 60 to 70 gallon holding tanks, the same tank size used on our standard porta potty rental units, so a single delivery can service both without mismatched refill schedules. Some models run hot water, which matters if you're planning to wash hair on site rather than just rinse hands. Soap and paper towels come standard, because 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) requires washing facilities to have soap and towels or a hand-drying device on hand, and hand sanitizer alone doesn't meet that. We deliver across Henderson and out to job sites in Whitney, 9.5 miles north, and Enterprise, 13.8 miles west, on the same truck runs we use for portable toilet rental drops. If you're comparing this against a full deluxe flushable porta potty, the sink station is the cheaper add-on when all you need is a wash point, not a full restroom.
Why would I need a portable sink for hair washing?
Because sometimes there's no shower and you still need to get clean. Film crews, disaster relief camps, and long weekend campsites all lean on a portable sink to wash hair when a full shower trailer rental is overkill for the group size. A hot water portable sink with a low basin works fine for a quick hair rinse, especially paired with a restroom trailer rental on the same site. We've set these up for film set restroom rental jobs in Henderson where the schedule doesn't allow for trailer hookups between takes. Camping groups near Boulder City, 27.0 miles southeast, use the same units for a similar reason: no plumbing, no problem. If you're stocking a site for farm and agricultural restrooms, OSHA 1928.110 requires potable water and handwashing for hand-labor employees within a quarter mile walk, and a portable sink station satisfies that without trenching a water line.
Do portable sink stations need a water tank hookup?
No. Every unit we deliver carries its own portable sink water tank, so there's nothing to hook up. The fresh side holds 60 to 70 gallon capacity, the same as our standard toilet tanks, and the wastewater side collects separately underneath the basin. That's the whole point of a portable sink station: it goes anywhere a hose can't reach. Construction crews pair them with construction site services packages to satisfy OSHA 1926.51(a)(1), which requires an adequate supply of potable water at all places of employment. For sites running paint, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) specifically calls for washing facilities in that context, and a sink station covers it without pulling water from a trailer. We refill tanks on the same route as our septic pumping service trucks, so a site running both never waits long between service stops. If you're not sure how many stations a crew needs, our how many porta potties do I need guide covers headcount ratios that carry over to wash stations too.
How much does a portable sink rental cost in Henderson?
Pricing runs close to our standard toilet rates since the units share a chassis and tank size. Expect a day rate near the low end and a weekly rate that reflects multiple service visits under the ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 baseline of one visit per week for up to 10 users.
| duration | typical range |
|---|---|
| day | $100 to $350 |
| week | $130 to $500 |
| month | $125 to $325 |
Delivery adds a separate fee, and weekend rentals run higher per day than a weeklong booking, so a two-day event rental costs more per day than a five-day job site rental. Full breakdowns live on our porta potty rental cost and porta potty rental per day pages, and if you need the unit for a whole month, our monthly porta potty rental page has the longer-term numbers. For weddings and similar bookings, check wedding restroom rental for pairing options with a sink station.
FAQ
Can I rent just a portable sink without a toilet?
Yes. Plenty of Henderson customers rent a sink station alone, especially for hair washing at camping trips or as a handwashing add-on next to an existing restroom. We deliver it the same way we deliver our porta john rental units, on its own trailer run.
Does a portable sink come with hot water?
Some units do. Ask when booking, since not every portable sink station in our fleet runs a heater. Hot water models cost more, similar to how a deluxe flushable porta potty costs more than a standard unit.
How often does the water tank need refilling?
Depends on use. A crew of 10 running steady handwashing will drain a 60 to 70 gallon tank faster than an event with light foot traffic. We schedule refills on delivery routes the same way we handle septic tank pumping cost jobs, by usage.
Are portable sink stations required on construction sites?
Not by name, but OSHA 1926.51(c) sets toilet facility ratios by crew size, and separate handwashing capability is expected under 1926.51(a)(1) for potable water access. Check our OSHA portable toilet requirements page for the full ratio table.
Can a portable sink work at an ADA-accessible event?
Yes, as long as the unit meets reach and clearance rules. ADA Standards 308.2.1 sets a 48 inch maximum forward reach, and our ADA accessible porta potty units follow the same clearance standards we apply to sink station placement.
