FAQs
Does the washbasin come with a faucet or drain?
No, the washbasin is sold separately from faucets and drain fittings. You will need to purchase a 45 mm drain fitting and a faucet of your choice.
Can I install this washbasin myself?
Yes, with basic DIY skills and tools, you can install this washbasin. However, if you are uncomfortable with drilling or plumbing, professional installation is recommended.
What type of faucet is recommended?
Due to the lack of pre-drilled holes, wall-mounted faucets are a popular choice. You can also drill the countertop or the basin itself (with appropriate tools and caution) for a standard deck-mounted faucet.
How do I clean the black glossy finish?
Use a soft damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive bathroom cleaner. Wipe dry after cleaning to maintain the shine and prevent water spots.
What is the warranty period for this washbasin?
The Rea Belinda washbasin comes with a 2-year warranty from the manufacturer.
Is the black finish prone to fading?
The high-quality sanitary ceramic with a glossy black finish is designed for durability and resistance to fading under normal bathroom conditions.
What are the exact dimensions of the basin?
The basin measures 46.5 cm in length, 33.5 cm in width, and 13.5 cm in height, with a bowl depth of 10.5 cm.
Troubleshooting
Basin is unstable after installation.
Check that the silicone sealant has fully cured. Ensure the mounting surface is perfectly flat and the basin is properly seated. Reapply sealant if necessary.
Water is not draining effectively.
Verify that the 45 mm drain fitting is correctly installed and not clogged. Ensure the P-trap and any associated plumbing are clear of obstructions.
Visible scratches on the glossy surface.
The basin is designed for durability, but abrasive materials can cause scratches. For minor surface scuffs, a ceramic repair polish might help, but avoid using abrasive cleaners or tools during regular cleaning.
Faucet installation is challenging due to no pre-drilled holes.
Consider using a wall-mounted faucet. Alternatively, if drilling is necessary, use appropriate diamond-tipped drill bits for sanitary ceramic and proceed with caution on a stable surface, or consult a professional plumber.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Ensure the countertop or cabinet is stable and prepared for the basin's weight.
- Apply a suitable silicone sealant around the rim of the basin where it meets the countertop to create a watertight seal.
- Install a compatible 45 mm drain fitting (not included).
- If installing a faucet, plan its placement carefully, considering the absence of pre-drilled holes. Options include wall-mounted faucets or drilling the countertop before installation.
Compatibility:
- Drain: Requires a standard 45 mm drain.
- Faucet: Compatible with wall-mounted faucets or faucets requiring a countertop hole drilled to match the desired faucet base. Ensure faucet height and reach are appropriate for the basin's dimensions.

Care:

- For tougher stains, use a mild, non-abrasive bathroom cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers that can damage the glossy finish.
