FAQs

What size tap do I need for this basin?

The basin has one tap hole suitable for a standard monobloc basin mixer tap. The specific height and reach of the tap should be chosen based on your preference and the basin dimensions.

Is the tap included with the basin?

No, the tap is not included. It needs to be purchased separately.

What is the benefit of a semi-pedestal?

A semi-pedestal provides support while maintaining a visually lighter appearance, making the bathroom feel more spacious, which is ideal for smaller rooms.

Do I need to buy a separate fixing kit?

Yes, a basin fixing kit (code 5056211841159) is required for installation and must be purchased separately.

Can I use this basin in a full-sized bathroom?

Yes, while designed for smaller spaces, its contemporary style and generous basin depth make it suitable for any bathroom where a clean, modern look is desired.

How do I clean the semi-pedestal?

The semi-pedestal is made of the same vitreous china as the basin and can be cleaned using the same methods: a soft, damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive detergent.

Is there a matching toilet available?

Yes, Balterley offers a matching toilet in the D Shape ceramic range to create a consistent bathroom design.

Troubleshooting

Basin wobbles after installation.

Ensure the basin fixing kit is securely tightened and that the semi-pedestal is properly seated against the wall and basin.

Water splashes excessively from the tap.

Consider the height and reach of the tap. A tap with a lower aerator or a different flow rate might be more suitable for the basin's depth and width.

Stains are difficult to remove.

Use a non-abrasive bathroom cleaner specifically designed for ceramic surfaces. For persistent stains, try a paste of baking soda and water, gently scrubbing with a soft cloth.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Modern, rounded aesthetic enhances bathroom appeal.
  • Semi-pedestal design is excellent for small spaces.
  • Durable vitreous china construction ensures longevity.
  • Generous basin depth provides practical usability.
  • Part of a coordinated range for a consistent look.

Cons

  • Tap is not included and requires a separate purchase.
  • Semi-pedestal may offer less structural support than a full pedestal.
  • Only features one tap hole, limiting tap style options.
  • Requires specific basin fixing kit (sold separately).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This basin requires a basin fixing kit (code 5056211841159) for wall mounting, which is sold separately. Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber. Ensure the wall is structurally sound to support the basin and its contents.

Compatibility: The basin is pre-drilled with one tap hole, designed for use with a standard monobloc basin mixer tap (not included). It is compatible with the Balterley D Shape toilet and other sanitaryware from the same range for a unified look.

Care: Clean the basin regularly using a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the vitreous china surface. For stubborn marks, a paste of baking soda and water can be gently applied.
