Troubleshooting

Basin is unstable

Ensure the basin is securely fixed to the wall and that the pedestal is properly seated and supporting the basin. Check if wall fixings are appropriate for the wall type and adequately tightened.

Water is not draining effectively

Check the installed basin waste for blockages. Ensure the waste trap and the connecting pipework are clear of debris.

Tap is leaking after installation

Verify that the tap connections are tightened correctly and that any washers or seals are properly seated. If the leak persists, the tap itself may be faulty.

Surface shows stains or dullness

Use a non-abrasive bathroom cleaner specifically designed for ceramic surfaces. Ensure all cleaning product residue is thoroughly rinsed off.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Preparation: Ensure the intended location is prepared, including waste pipe access and water supply connections.
  2. Mounting: Securely fix the basin to the wall using appropriate fixings (not included). The pedestal should then be placed to support the basin, often secured to the basin and/or floor.
  3. Tap Installation: Fit your chosen monobloc mixer tap into the single pre-drilled tap hole.
  4. Waste Installation: Install the basin waste (not included) according to its manufacturer's instructions.
  5. Plumbing Connections: Connect the water supply and waste pipes.

Compatibility:

  • Taps: Designed for use with standard monobloc mixer taps only. Ensure your chosen tap has the correct reach for the basin.
  • Waste: Requires a standard basin waste (e.g., click-clack or plug and chain) with a compatible connection for the basin's outlet.
  • Fixings: Wall mounting fixings suitable for your wall type are required (not included).

Care:

  • Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent.
  • Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the vitreous china surface.
  • Wipe dry with a clean cloth to prevent water spots.
  • Check plumbing connections periodically for any leaks.
