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.

Does the basin come with a tap?

No, the tap is not included with the Balterley Traditional Fireclay Basin. You will need to purchase a compatible mono basin mixer tap separately.

What else do I need to purchase for installation?

You will need to purchase a basin waste, an overflow cover, and a compatible mono basin mixer tap. The bottle trap is included.

How do I clean the fireclay basin?

Clean the basin using a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive materials.

Is the wash stand height adjustable?

The wash stand is designed to a specific height for traditional styling and is not typically adjustable.

Can I use a wall-mounted tap with this basin?

This basin has a pre-drilled hole for a deck-mounted mono basin mixer tap. Using a wall-mounted tap would require a basin without a tap hole or a different basin configuration.

What are the dimensions of the basin?

The basin is 500mm in width. Specific depth and height details can be found in the product's technical specifications.

Troubleshooting

Basin leaks water from the base of the tap.

Ensure the tap's sealing washers are correctly positioned and tightened. Check if the tap's mounting nuts are secure.

Water is not draining efficiently from the basin.

Check the basin waste for any blockages. Ensure the bottle trap is correctly assembled and free from debris. Verify that the overflow cover is not obstructing the flow.

Chrome wash stand is tarnished or discolored.

Clean gently with a mild soap solution and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. For persistent issues, consider a specialized chrome cleaner, following product instructions carefully.

Tap hole is slightly off-center for the chosen tap.

Minor adjustments may be possible with tap fitting hardware. Ensure the tap is designed for a single-hole installation and consult the tap manufacturer's instructions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the wash stand is securely assembled and fixed to the wall if recommended by installation guidelines.
  2. Mount the fireclay basin onto the wash stand, ensuring it is level and stable.
  3. Install the tap into the pre-drilled hole (mono basin mixer tap required).
  4. Connect the included bottle trap to the basin waste outlet.
  5. Connect the tap's water supply hoses and the waste pipe to your plumbing system.

Compatibility:

Care:

  • Clean the fireclay basin regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive detergent.

  • Wipe the chrome wash stand with a soft cloth to maintain its shine. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and rinse thoroughly.
  • Periodically check plumbing connections for leaks.
