FAQs
What type of tap should I use with this basin?
This basin has zero tap holes, making it ideal for high-rise mixer taps installed on the countertop or for wall-mounted taps.
What material is the basin made from?
The basin is manufactured from high-quality vitreous china, ensuring durability and a smooth, easy-to-clean surface.
What are the dimensions of the basin?
The basin dimensions are Height: 13.5 cm, Width: 49.0 cm, and Depth: 31.0 cm.
Does the basin come with a tap or waste fitting?

What is the warranty period for this basin?
Nuie provides a 5-year guarantee against faulty workmanship or materials, provided the basin is installed and used according to instructions.
How do I clean the basin effectively?
Clean with a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Can this basin be installed as a semi-recessed unit?
While designed primarily for countertop installation, its dimensions and shape may allow for semi-recessed fitting with appropriate modifications and professional advice.
Troubleshooting
Basin wobbles after installation
Check that the basin is properly seated on the countertop and that the sealant has cured fully. Ensure the countertop itself is level.
Slow draining water
Check the waste and overflow fittings for any obstructions. Ensure the trap is clear and properly connected.
Scratches appear on the surface
Minor scratches may be buffed out with a specialized ceramic repair kit. Avoid using abrasive cleaners in the future.
Sealant failure or leaks
Remove old sealant, clean the area thoroughly, and reapply a fresh bead of high-quality bathroom silicone sealant.
