FAQs

What is included in the bundle?

The bundle includes the Balterley Traditional Fireclay Basin (500mm), the Chrome wash stand, and a bottle trap. Taps, waste, and overflow cover are not included.

What type of taps should I use?

This basin is pre-drilled with 3 tap holes, so you will need to use 3-tap hole basin taps. These typically consist of separate hot and cold taps and a central filler spout.

How do I clean the fireclay basin?

Clean the basin using a soft, damp cloth with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth to maintain its finish.

Can I use a standard waste fitting?

Yes, you will need a standard basin waste fitting compatible with fireclay basins. The bottle trap is included to connect the waste fitting to your plumbing.

Is this basin suitable for small bathrooms?

The 500mm width makes it suitable for medium to larger bathrooms. For very small spaces, consider a more compact basin model.

Where can I find matching bathroom furniture?

Balterley offers a range of matching traditional ceramics and furniture. You can typically find these by searching for 'Balterley traditional bathroom suite' or by checking the brand's product catalog.

What is the warranty on this product?

Warranty information varies by retailer. Please check the product listing or contact the retailer directly for specific warranty details.

Troubleshooting

Basin is not draining properly

Check the bottle trap and waste pipe for any blockages. Ensure the waste fitting is correctly installed and sealed.

Water leaking from tap connections

Tighten the connections at the base of the taps. Ensure rubber seals or washers are present and in good condition.

Chrome wash stand has water spots

Wipe the stand dry with a soft microfiber cloth immediately after use or cleaning to prevent spots from forming.

Tap handles are stiff

This may indicate an issue with the internal tap mechanism. Consult your tap manufacturer's guide or seek professional advice.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Elegant and timeless design that enhances bathroom aesthetics.
  • Durable construction with handcrafted fireclay basin and stainless steel wash stand.
  • Pre-drilled for easy installation with common 3-tap hole fittings.
  • Includes essential fittings like a bottle trap.
  • Part of a larger range for design consistency.

Cons

  • Taps, waste, and overflow cover are not included and must be purchased separately.
  • Requires specific 3-tap hole basin taps.
  • The traditional style may not suit modern bathroom designs.
  • Handcrafted nature might lead to minor variations.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure you have the necessary plumbing connections. The basin requires 3-tap hole basin taps, a suitable waste fitting, and an overflow cover (all sold separately). The included bottle trap should be connected to the basin waste and your waste pipe. It is recommended that installation is carried out by a qualified plumber.

Compatibility: This basin is designed for use with 3-tap hole basin taps. Ensure your chosen waste and overflow fittings are compatible with a standard fireclay basin. The wash stand is designed specifically for this basin model.

Care: Clean the fireclay basin with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface. The chrome finish on the wash stand should also be cleaned with a soft cloth and mild soapy water, then dried to prevent water spots.
