Product Information

Full details

The RAK Ceramics Rak Origin Wash Basin is designed for homeowners seeking a stylish, durable, and practical sink solution, particularly for smaller bathrooms or cloakrooms. Its key benefit is the blend of modern aesthetics with robust, easy-to-maintain vitreous china construction, offering a sophisticated look that resists scratches and limescale. A potential consideration is that the fixing kit and waste are sold separately, requiring additional purchases for complete installation.

What are the exact dimensions of the basin?

The basin has a width of 450mm, a height of 160mm (basin only), and a projection (depth) of 370mm.

Is the basin suitable for small bathrooms?

Yes, its compact 450mm width makes it an excellent choice for cloakrooms and smaller bathrooms where space is limited.

What is the warranty period for this wash basin?

RAK Ceramics offers a 25-year manufacturer's warranty on this wash basin.

What material is the basin made from?

Troubleshooting

Water not draining effectively

Ensure the correct slotted waste is installed and is not blocked. Check the waste pipe for any obstructions.

Tap drips or leaks

This is related to the tap itself, not the basin. Refer to the tap manufacturer's instructions for repair or replacement.

Basin appears loose on the wall

Check the wall fixings. Ensure they are appropriate for your wall type and are securely tightened. Contact a professional if unsure.

Stains are difficult to remove

Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for ceramics. For stubborn stains like limescale, a diluted vinegar solution can be effective, followed by thorough rinsing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable and long-lasting due to vitreous china material.
  • Easy to clean and maintain with a scratch and limescale-resistant finish.
  • Space-saving design suitable for smaller bathrooms.
  • Modern and elegant aesthetic enhances bathroom decor.
  • Includes overflow for added safety and convenience.

Cons

  • Fixing kit is not supplied and must be purchased separately.
  • Waste fitting is sold separately.
  • Pedestal is optional and sold separately if desired.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This basin is designed for wall-hung installation. Ensure you have the appropriate wall structure to support the basin's weight (9.1 kg unloaded). The basin requires a slotted waste and a mono basin mixer tap, both of which are sold separately. A compatible fixing kit will also be needed for secure wall mounting. Installation should be carried out by a qualified plumber.

Compatibility:

  • Taps: Compatible with mono basin mixer taps due to the single tap hole.
  • Waste: Requires a slotted waste fitting.
  • Pedestal: Can be installed with or without a RAK Ceramics pedestal from the Origin 62 range (sold separately).
  • Fixing Kit: Not included; requires a suitable wall-mounting kit.

Care:

Clean the basin regularly using a soft, damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive detergent. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the gloss finish. For limescale build-up, a mild vinegar solution can be used, followed by rinsing and drying. The vitreous china material is inherently resistant to staining and scratching, simplifying maintenance.
