Product Information

Full details

The RAK Ceramics Feeling Oval Matt Counter Top Wash Basin is designed for homeowners and designers seeking a modern, bold statement piece for their bathroom. Its key benefit is the striking matt black finish and vessel design, which creates a unique focal point. A potential caveat is the requirement for separate tap and waste fittings, meaning additional purchases are necessary for a complete installation. This vitreous china basin offers a hygienic, easy-to-clean surface and a distinctive aesthetic.

Troubleshooting

Basin is unstable or rocking

Ensure sufficient silicone sealant was applied and allowed to cure fully. Check for debris trapped between the basin and countertop. Reapply sealant if necessary.

Water is not draining effectively

Verify that a slotted waste fitting is installed correctly and that the waste pipe is not blocked. Ensure the trap is functioning properly.

Persistent water spots or marks

Wipe the basin dry after each use with a soft cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft sponge, then rinse and dry thoroughly.

Silicone sealant is failing or discolored

Carefully remove the old sealant using a sealant remover or sharp blade. Clean the area thoroughly and reapply a fresh bead of high-quality bathroom silicone sealant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the countertop surface is clean, dry, and level.
  2. Position the basin onto the countertop in the desired location.
  3. Apply a continuous bead of high-quality bathroom silicone sealant around the underside edge of the basin that will contact the countertop.
  4. Carefully place the basin onto the sealed area and press down firmly to ensure a good seal.
  5. Fit the appropriate slotted waste (not supplied) into the basin's waste outlet.
  6. Connect the waste pipe to the trap (not supplied).
  7. Install your chosen deck-mounted or wall-mounted taps according to their respective manufacturer's instructions.
  8. Connect the hot and cold water supplies to the taps.

Compatibility:

  • Taps: Requires deck-mounted or wall-mounted taps as the basin has no pre-drilled tap holes.
  • Waste: Requires a slotted waste fitting.
  • Worktop: Compatible with most countertop materials, including solid surface, quartz, granite, and wood (properly sealed).

Care:

  • Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive bathroom cleaner.
  • Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive powders, or scouring pads, as these can damage the matt finish.
  • Rinse thoroughly with clean water after cleaning and wipe dry with a soft cloth to prevent water marks.
