FAQs
Is the tap included with the Old London Chancery Basin and Pedestal?
No, the basin tap and waste are sold separately unless specifically stated otherwise. You will need to purchase these items in addition to the basin and pedestal.
What type of tap should I use with this basin?
This basin has one tap hole, meaning it is designed for a mono basin mixer tap, which combines hot and cold water controls into a single unit.
What is the benefit of the slotted waste?
The slotted waste is essential for basins with an overflow channel. It allows excess water to drain away efficiently, preventing the basin from overflowing.
How do I clean the vitreous china surface?
Clean the basin with a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive bathroom cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive materials that could scratch or damage the glossy finish.
What are the dimensions of the basin?
The basin has a width of 500mm. It is designed to be compact, making it suitable for smaller bathrooms or cloakrooms.
What is the guarantee period for this product?
The Old London Chancery Compact Basin and Full Pedestal comes with a 5-year guarantee against faulty workmanship or materials, provided it is installed correctly.
Can this basin be used in a modern bathroom?
While designed with traditional aesthetics in mind, its clean lines and glossy white finish can complement some modern styles, particularly minimalist or transitional designs. However, it is best suited for traditional or period-style bathrooms.
Troubleshooting
Basin leaks water from the base or around fittings.
Ensure the basin waste and tap connections are securely tightened and sealed with appropriate plumber's putty or sealant. Check that the basin is properly mounted to the wall and the pedestal is stable.
Water is not draining efficiently from the basin.
Verify that a slotted basin waste is being used, as required for this basin's overflow. Check the waste trap and main drainpipe for any blockages.
Tap is not functioning correctly.
This is related to the tap itself (sold separately). Check the tap's internal mechanism, water supply lines, or consult the tap manufacturer's guide.
Visible scratches or dullness on the surface.
Avoid using abrasive cleaners. For minor scuffs, try a non-abrasive ceramic cleaner or toothpaste. If damage is significant, consult a professional.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Preparation: Ensure the wall area where the basin will be mounted is sound and capable of supporting its weight, especially when filled with water. The full pedestal should rest securely on the floor.
Mounting: The basin should be securely fixed to the wall using appropriate brackets and fixings (often sold separately or specified by the installer).
Pedestal Installation: Position the full pedestal beneath the basin, ensuring it is stable and level. The basin typically rests on top of the pedestal.
Plumbing Connections: Connect the water supply (hot and cold) to the basin tap (sold separately) and then connect the tap to the basin's 1 tap hole. Attach the basin waste (sold separately) to the basin's outlet, ensuring a watertight seal. Connect the waste pipework to the main drainage system.
Compatibility:
Tap: Designed for use with a mono basin mixer tap due to the single 1 tap hole.
Waste: Requires a slotted basin waste to function with the basin's overflow.
Plumbing: Standard UK plumbing connections are generally compatible, but professional installation is recommended.
Care:
Clean the basin regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive bathroom cleaner.
Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive scouring pads, or bleach, as these can damage the vitreous china surface.
Wipe dry after cleaning to prevent water spots.
Periodically check plumbing connections for leaks.
