Product Information
Full details
The Rea Greta countertop basin is designed for homeowners seeking a modern, functional, and aesthetically pleasing addition to their bathroom. Its primary benefit is the seamless integration with vanity counters or cabinets, offering a sleek, built-in look. A potential caveat is its specific mounting requirement as a countertop basin, meaning it cannot be wall-mounted or pedestal-mounted. This basin features an original elongated shape, a sleek rim line, and is constructed from durable, easy-to-clean sanitary ceramics in a sparkling snow-white enamel finish, part of the Rea Slim Edge collection.

Troubleshooting
Basin wobbles after installation.
Ensure the basin is properly seated on the countertop/cabinet and that all mounting or sealing materials (e.g., silicone sealant) are fully cured. Check for any unevenness in the supporting surface.
Slow draining or water pooling.
Check the 45 mm drain fitting and waste pipe for blockages. Remove any debris that may be obstructing water flow.
Stains on the enamel surface.
Use a mild, non-abrasive bathroom cleaner. For persistent stains, a paste of baking soda and water can be gently applied. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
Water splashes over the rim during use.
Ensure the faucet flow rate is not excessively high for the basin's depth (10 cm). Adjust the faucet settings or consider a faucet with a gentler flow.
