FAQs
What is the main purpose of this overflow trim?
The trim serves as a decorative cover for the overflow hole in a basin, enhancing the overall aesthetic of the bathroom by providing a clean, finished look that coordinates with other fixtures.
Is this trim compatible with any basin?
No, this trim is specifically designed for use with Standon bathroom basins that are equipped with an overflow hole. Compatibility with other brands or basin models is not guaranteed.
How do I clean the matt black finish?
Clean the trim with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads to prevent scratching the surface. Mild soap can be used if necessary, followed by rinsing.
Will this trim stop water from coming out of the overflow?
The trim is a cover and does not function as a seal. Its purpose is aesthetic. The overflow's primary function is to prevent the basin from flooding if the tap is left running.
What material is the trim made from?
The trim is made from durable plastic.
Can I use this trim with a basin that doesn't have an overflow hole?
No, this trim is designed to fit into the existing overflow hole of a compatible basin.
Troubleshooting
Trim does not fit securely
Ensure you are using it with a compatible Standon basin model. Check if the overflow hole size matches the trim. Gently press to secure; if loose, consult product documentation for specific installation nuances or consider a small amount of waterproof adhesive if appropriate for the model.
Matt black finish is scratched
Avoid using abrasive cleaning materials. For minor scratches, a color-restoring product for plastics might help, but replacement is often the best solution for significant damage.
Water still seeping from overflow
This trim is primarily decorative and does not seal the overflow. Ensure your basin's primary drainage is functioning correctly. The overflow's purpose is to prevent flooding if the basin is overfilled.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the basin has a pre-drilled overflow hole.
