Full details

The Armitage Shanks Sandringham 21 Semi-Recessed Basin (50cm, 2 Tap Hole) is designed for homeowners and commercial spaces seeking a blend of classic British style and practical functionality. Its key benefit is creating an illusion of space in bathrooms, thanks to its generous 50cm width and curved profile.

FAQs

Are taps and waste included with the basin?

No, taps and waste fittings are sold separately. You will need to purchase these to complete the installation.

What type of taps are compatible with this basin?

This basin has two tap holes, making it compatible with standard pillar taps or mixer taps designed for this configuration.

What is the warranty period for this basin?

The Armitage Shanks Sandringham 21 Semi-Recessed Basin comes with a lifetime manufacturer's guarantee.

Can this basin be installed as a wall-hung unit?

No, this model is specifically designed for semi-recessed installation into a countertop or vanity unit, not as a wall-hung basin.

What are the dimensions of the basin?

The basin has a width of 50cm. Specific depth and projection details can be found in the technical specifications.

How do I clean the ceramic surface?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.

Does the basin have an overflow?

Yes, the basin features an integrated overflow to help prevent water from spilling over the sides.

Troubleshooting

Basin is not draining properly

Check the basin waste trap for blockages. Ensure the waste pipe is clear and correctly connected. Verify that the overflow is not obstructed.

Taps are leaking

Ensure tap connections to the water supply and the basin are securely tightened. Check and replace any worn seals or washers within the taps themselves.

Basin appears unstable

Verify that the basin is securely fixed to the countertop and that the countertop is stable. Re-apply sealant around the edge if necessary and check fixings.

Water overflows despite the overflow hole

Ensure the overflow hole itself and the internal overflow channel are not blocked. Check that the basin waste is functioning correctly and not partially blocked, causing water to rise higher than expected.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Stylish and timeless design that complements various bathroom decors.
  • The semi-recessed nature helps maximize perceived space in smaller bathrooms.
  • Constructed from durable, high-quality ceramic for longevity.
  • Includes an overflow and chainstay hole for practical use.
  • Backed by a lifetime guarantee from a reputable brand.

Cons

  • Taps and waste fittings are not included and must be purchased separately.
  • Requires a countertop or vanity unit for installation.
  • The 50cm width, while creating an illusion of space, might be considered large for very compact WCs.
  • Only features two tap holes, limiting options for single-hole mixer taps without an adapter or additional plumbing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

This basin is designed for semi-countertop installation. It requires mounting onto a suitable countertop or vanity unit. Ensure the cut-out in the countertop is precisely measured according to the basin's template (if provided by the manufacturer, otherwise measure carefully). Secure the basin firmly to the countertop using appropriate fixings and sealant to prevent leaks and movement. Connect the water supply to the chosen taps (sold separately) and the waste outlet to your plumbing system.

Compatibility:

  • Taps: Compatible with standard pillar taps or mixer taps designed for basins with two tap holes (hole centres typically 203mm or 8 inches).
  • Waste Fittings: Requires a standard basin waste fitting (slotted waste is recommended due to the overflow).
  • Countertops/Vanities: Suitable for installation on robust countertops or purpose-built vanity units.

Care:

  • Clean regularly using a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent.
  • Avoid using harsh scouring pads, abrasive cleaners, or solvents, as these can damage the ceramic glaze.
  • Wipe dry with a clean cloth after cleaning to maintain its shine.
  • Periodically check all plumbing connections for leaks.
