FAQs
What type of tap should I use with this basin?
The Banyetti Athena basin is designed with one tap hole (1TH), making it ideal for a single-hole basin mixer tap. Wall-mounted taps or tall pillar taps that only require one hole are also suitable.
Is the tap included with the basin?
No, the tap is sold separately. You will need to purchase a tap that fits a single tap hole configuration.
What are the dimensions of the basin?
The basin measures 600mm in width, 465mm in depth, and 170mm in height. Other sizes (810mm and 1010mm width) may also be available.
How do I clean the matt black finish?
For best results, use a soft, damp cloth for daily cleaning. For tougher stains, use a mild, non-abrasive bathroom cleaner suitable for matt surfaces, rinse well, and dry with a microfiber cloth.
Can I install this basin on any vanity unit?
Yes, it is designed to fit most standard vanity units or countertops. Ensure the surface is level and capable of supporting the basin's weight.
Do I need a special waste fitting?
You will need a standard basin waste fitting. Ensure it is compatible with the basin's waste outlet diameter and provides a watertight seal.
Troubleshooting
Basin is unstable after installation.
Ensure the basin is correctly seated on the vanity/countertop and has been adequately secured with sanitary silicone sealant. Check that the vanity unit itself is stable.
Water is not draining properly.
Check that the basin waste is correctly installed and not blocked. Ensure the trap and pipework connected to the waste are clear of obstructions.
Visible streaks or residue on the matt black finish.
Use a specific cleaner for matt surfaces or a mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately with a microfiber cloth to prevent water spots.
Tap connection is leaking.
Re-tighten the tap connections to the water supply lines and check the seals on the tap installation. Ensure the tap mounting is secure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Preparation: Ensure the vanity unit or countertop is level and capable of supporting the basin's weight. Identify the water supply lines and drainpipe location.
- Tap Installation: Install your chosen single-hole basin mixer tap into the pre-drilled 1 tap hole. Follow the tap manufacturer's installation instructions.
- Waste Installation: Fit the appropriate basin waste (sold separately) into the basin's waste outlet, ensuring a watertight seal.
- Securing the Basin: Position the basin onto the vanity or countertop. Apply a sufficient bead of sanitary silicone sealant around the edge where the basin meets the surface to secure it and prevent water ingress.
- Plumbing Connections: Connect the tap's water supply lines to the shut-off valves and connect the basin waste to the drainpipe.

- Waste Fittings: Requires a standard basin waste fitting. Ensure it is compatible with the basin's outlet diameter.
Care:
- Daily Cleaning: Wipe down with a soft, damp cloth to remove water spots and light residue. Avoid abrasive cloths or sponges.
- Deeper Cleaning: For stubborn marks, use a mild, non-abrasive bathroom cleaner specifically designed for ceramic or matt surfaces. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use bleach, ammonia, or abrasive scouring powders, as these can damage the matt finish.
