Product Information

Full details

The Balterley Destin 500mm basin and semi pedestal is designed for modern bathrooms, especially smaller spaces like ensuites and cloakrooms. Its key benefit is maximizing perceived space with a clever semi-pedestal design. A potential caveat is that a mono basin mixer tap is required but not included. This essential bathroom piece combines high-quality vitreous china construction with a contemporary square aesthetic and a deep, functional washing bowl.

FAQs

What type of tap should I use with this basin?

This basin is pre-drilled with one tap hole and is designed for use with a mono basin mixer tap.

Is the tap included with the basin?

No, the tap is not included. You will need to purchase a suitable mono basin mixer tap separately.

What are the dimensions of the basin?

The basin has a width of 500mm. Specific depth and height details should be available in the product's technical specifications.

Can I install this basin myself?

Installation requires basic plumbing and DIY skills, including secure wall mounting. If you are unsure, it is recommended to hire a qualified plumber.

What material is the basin made from?

The basin is manufactured from high-quality vitreous china.

Is there a matching toilet available?

Yes, Balterley offers a matching toilet in the Destin range to create a coordinated bathroom design.

How do I clean the basin?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

What is the benefit of a semi pedestal?

A semi pedestal attaches to the wall and leaves the floor area clear, creating a sense of more space and making cleaning easier, which is ideal for smaller bathrooms.

Troubleshooting

Basin is not draining properly.

Check the basin waste and trap for blockages. Ensure the overflow hole is not obstructed.

Water is leaking from the tap connections.

Tighten the connections at the base of the tap and where they meet the water supply pipes. Ensure rubber seals are correctly seated.

The basin feels loose on the wall.

Check and tighten the wall fixings securing the basin. Ensure the correct type of wall anchors are used for your wall material.

Tap is not functioning correctly.

Refer to the specific installation and troubleshooting guide for your mono basin mixer tap, as issues are often tap-specific.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Mounting: The basin requires secure wall fixing. Use appropriate wall fixings (not included) suitable for your wall type. Ensure the semi-pedestal is correctly aligned and secured.
  2. Tap Installation: Install a mono basin mixer tap into the pre-drilled single tap hole. Connect the tap's water supply lines according to the tap manufacturer's instructions.
  3. Waste Installation: Fit a suitable basin waste (not included) into the overflow hole and connect it to your plumbing.

Compatibility:

  • Tap: Designed for use with a mono basin mixer tap (requires a single hole). Ensure the tap chosen is compatible with your water pressure system.
  • Waste: Compatible with standard basin wastes, particularly those with an overflow.
  • Plumbing: Requires standard hot and cold water connections and a suitable drain connection.

Care:

  • Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the vitreous china surface.
  • For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.
  • Ensure the overflow is clear to prevent water pooling.
