FAQs

Does this basin come with a faucet or drain?

No, the VidaXL Luxury Wash Basin does not include a faucet or drain. These components must be purchased separately to match your preferred style and plumbing requirements.

What type of faucet is recommended for this basin?

Due to its above-counter installation, this basin is best paired with a wall-mounted faucet or a tall, counter-mounted faucet that can clear the basin's height.

What are the exact dimensions of the basin?

The basin measures 41 cm in length, 30 cm in width, and 12 cm in height (L x W x H).

Is the matt white finish difficult to clean or prone to staining?

Matt finishes can sometimes show water spots more readily than glossy finishes. However, with regular wiping after use and cleaning with mild, non-abrasive cleaners, it is easy to maintain its pristine look. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Can this basin be installed as an under-mount or integrated basin?

No, this basin is specifically designed for above-counter installation. Its design and construction are optimized for sitting directly on top of a countertop.

What is the weight of the basin?

The basin weighs approximately 7.2 kilograms (15.87 pounds), making it manageable for installation but sturdy once in place.

What size drain hole does this basin have?

The basin is equipped with a standard 4.5 cm diameter drain hole, compatible with most universal drain assemblies.

Troubleshooting

Water spots or streaks are visible on the matt finish.

This is common with matt surfaces. Regularly wipe the basin dry after each use with a soft cloth. For existing spots, use a mild cleaner and a soft cloth, then buff dry.

Basin appears to be leaking from the base.

Ensure the silicone sealant applied during installation is intact and fully cured. Reapply sealant if necessary, making sure the surface is dry and clean before application. Also, check the drain assembly for proper tightening.

Water is draining slowly.

Check the drain stopper for hair or debris. If the problem persists, the P-trap might be clogged and require cleaning. Ensure your drain assembly is correctly installed and not obstructing flow.

Basin surface feels rough or discolored in areas.

This could be mineral buildup. Try a solution of equal parts white vinegar and water, letting it sit for a few minutes before scrubbing gently with a soft sponge and rinsing thoroughly. Avoid prolonged contact with highly acidic solutions.

Basin wobbles or is not securely fixed to the countertop.

The basin relies on sealant for secure placement. Ensure a continuous, strong bead of silicone sealant was applied and allowed to cure fully. If the sealant has failed, remove old sealant, clean the surface, and reapply thoroughly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup Instructions

  1. Prepare Countertop: Ensure your countertop is clean, dry, and has the appropriate hole cut for the drain (minimum 4.5 cm diameter) and faucet (if using a deck-mounted faucet).
  2. Position Basin: Carefully place the basin on the desired location on the countertop to check fit and alignment.
  3. Apply Sealant: Apply a bead of silicone sealant around the bottom edge of the basin where it meets the countertop. This creates a watertight seal.
  4. Install Drain: Install your chosen drain assembly into the basin's 4.5 cm drain hole, following the drain manufacturer's instructions. Ensure all connections are tightened properly to prevent leaks.
  5. Connect Plumbing: Connect the drain to your P-trap and wastewater line. Connect the faucet (if applicable) to your water supply lines.
  6. Cure Sealant: Allow the silicone sealant to cure completely before using the basin, typically 24 hours, as per sealant manufacturer's guidelines.

Compatibility

  • Faucets: Compatible with wall-mounted or tall counter-mounted faucets. Standard drain hole (4.5 cm) for most pop-up or grid drains.
  • Countertops: Suitable for various countertop materials, provided they can support the basin's weight (approx. 7.2 kg / 15.8 lbs) and have appropriate cut-outs.

Care & Maintenance

  • Daily Cleaning: Wipe the basin down regularly with a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive cleaner to prevent water spots and soap scum buildup. The matt finish may show water marks more readily.
  • Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals (e.g., strong acids, alkalis, bleach) as these can damage the matt ceramic finish.
  • Stain Removal: For stubborn stains, use a ceramic-specific cleaner or a paste of baking soda and water, gently scrubbing with a soft sponge.
  • Preventing Damage: Avoid dropping heavy or sharp objects into the basin, as ceramic can chip or crack upon impact.
  • Drain Maintenance: Periodically clean the drain stopper and P-trap to prevent blockages and maintain hygiene.
