FAQs

What is included with the Balterley Vito basin?

The basin itself and the semi-pedestal are included. Taps, waste fittings, and the basin fixing kit are sold separately.

What type of taps should I use with this basin?

This basin is pre-drilled with 2 tap holes, designed to be used with two separate pillar taps (one for hot water and one for cold).

How do I clean the basin surface?

Clean the basin with a soft, damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive detergent. Wipe dry immediately. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

What are the dimensions of the basin?

The overall dimensions of the basin are 555mm in width, 445mm in depth, and 498mm in height (including the semi-pedestal).

Is the semi-pedestal easy to install?

The semi-pedestal is designed to attach to the basin and rest against the wall, concealing the pipework. Proper wall fixing of the basin is crucial for stability.

What is the warranty period for this basin?

The Balterley Vito basin comes with a 5-year manufacturer's guarantee.

Can I use a single mixer tap with this basin?

No, this basin is specifically designed with two separate tap holes for pillar taps and is not compatible with single mixer taps.

Troubleshooting

Basin is not draining properly

Check the basin waste for blockages. Ensure the waste trap is clear and that the semi-pedestal is not obstructing the pipework.

Water is leaking from tap connections

Tighten the connections to the pillar taps. Ensure any rubber seals or washers are correctly seated and not damaged.

Semi-pedestal appears unstable

Verify that the basin is securely fixed to the wall. Ensure the semi-pedestal is properly aligned and seated against the basin and wall.

Difficult to clean due to scuffs

Use a non-abrasive bathroom cleaner. For persistent scuffs, try a mild cream cleaner specifically for ceramics, applied with a soft cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Mounting: Securely attach the basin to the wall using an appropriate basin fixing kit (sold separately, e.g., code 5056211841159). Ensure the wall is suitable for supporting the basin's weight.
  2. Tap Installation: Install two pillar taps into the pre-drilled 2 tap holes. Ensure tap tails are compatible with your water supply connections.
  3. Waste Installation: Fit a suitable basin waste (not included) into the basin's waste outlet.
  4. Plumbing Connection: Connect the waste pipe to your existing drainage system, ensuring the semi-pedestal is correctly positioned to conceal the pipework.

Compatibility:

  • Waste: Compatible with standard basin waste fittings.
  • Plumbing: Requires standard plumbing connections for basin waste and tap supplies.
  • Matching Products: Consider the matching toilet from the Vito range for a cohesive bathroom design.

Care:

  • Clean the basin regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive detergent.
  • Wipe dry immediately after cleaning to prevent water spots.
  • Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or scouring pads, as these can damage the vitreous china surface.
  • For stubborn stains, use a gentle bathroom cleaner specifically designed for ceramic surfaces.
