Product Information

Full details

The Affine Ceramic Bathroom Basin is designed for homeowners and renovators seeking a stylish and durable countertop sink for modern bathrooms. Its key benefit is the exquisite matt black finish on vitreous china, offering a scratch and stain-resistant surface that's easy to maintain. A potential caveat is the need for a separate high-rise mixer tap and waste, as these are not included with the basin.

FAQs

What type of waste fitting do I need for this basin?

This basin requires an unslotted basin waste. An unslotted waste is compatible with basins that do not have an overflow hole.

Can I use a standard mixer tap with this basin?

No, this basin does not have pre-drilled tap holes, making it incompatible with standard mixer taps that mount on the basin edge. You will need to use a high-rise basin mixer tap (mounted on the countertop) or a wall-mounted basin tap.

How do I clean the matt black finish?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth for daily maintenance. For tougher stains, use a mild, non-abrasive bathroom cleaner. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals to prevent scratching or dulling the finish.

Is the basin suitable for hard water areas?

Yes, the vitreous china surface is resistant to chemicals and easy to clean, which helps in managing limescale build-up common in hard water areas. Regular cleaning with a mild solution will keep it looking its best.

What is included with the basin?

The product includes the Affine Ceramic Bathroom Basin. The high-rise mixer tap and the unslotted basin waste are sold separately.

What is the warranty period for this basin?

The basin comes with a 25-year guarantee against manufacturing defects, reflecting its high quality and durability.

What are the dimensions of the basin?

The basin measures 405mm in width (W), 140mm in height (H), and 330mm in depth (D).

Troubleshooting

Basin has a slight wobble after installation.

Ensure the countertop or vanity unit is perfectly level and that the basin is securely fixed according to the manufacturer's instructions. Check for any debris trapped between the basin and the mounting surface.

Water is not draining efficiently.

Verify that the correct type of unslotted waste is installed and that it is properly seated. Check the waste pipe for any blockages or kinks.

Matt finish appears dull or has streaks.

Ensure you are using a non-abrasive cleaner suitable for matt finishes. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft microfiber cloth to prevent water spots and restore sheen.

Stains are difficult to remove.

For stubborn stains, try a paste of baking soda and water applied gently to the stained area. Allow it to sit for a few minutes before wiping clean. Rinse thoroughly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

This basin is designed to be mounted on a bathroom vanity unit or countertop. Ensure the surface is level and capable of supporting the basin's weight (7kg). Due to the absence of pre-drilled tap holes, you will need to select either a high-rise basin mixer tap to be mounted on the countertop adjacent to the basin, or a wall-mounted basin tap.

A compatible unslotted basin waste is required. When ordering, select the recommended unslotted waste option to ensure a proper fit.

Compatibility:

  • Taps: Compatible with high-rise basin mixer taps and wall-mounted basin taps. Standard basin mixer taps are not compatible due to the basin's design.
  • Waste: Requires an unslotted basin waste.
  • Installation Surface: Suitable for bathroom vanity units or solid countertops.

Care:

To maintain the finish and hygiene of your Affine basin:

  1. Daily Cleaning: Wipe the basin with a soft, damp cloth after each use to remove water spots and residue.
  2. Deeper Cleaning: For tougher grime or soap scum, use a mild, non-abrasive bathroom cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scouring pads, which can damage the matt finish.
  3. Limescale Removal: In hard water areas, gently remove limescale deposits with a cloth dampened with white vinegar. Rinse thoroughly with clean water afterward.
  4. Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or scouring pads as they can scratch the surface.
