FAQs

What is included with the Balterley Vito basin?

The product includes the basin and its full pedestal. Taps, waste fittings, and wall mounting fixings are sold separately.

How do I clean the basin to maintain its finish?

Clean the basin with a soft, damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive bathroom cleaners. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials to preserve the vitreous china surface.

Can I use a single-hole mixer tap with this basin?

No, this basin is specifically pre-drilled with two tap holes, designed for traditional pillar taps. A single-hole mixer tap is not compatible without modification.

What is the warranty period for this basin?

The Balterley Vito basin is backed by a 5-year manufacturer's guarantee.

What are the exact dimensions of the basin and pedestal?

The overall dimensions are approximately 550mm (width) x 445mm (depth) x 835mm (height).

Is the pedestal removable?

The full pedestal is designed to be a supportive and concealing element. While it can be detached, it is integral to the basin's supported structure and aesthetic.

What type of taps are recommended for this basin?

This basin has two tap holes, making it ideal for use with traditional pillar taps (one for hot, one for cold water). Taps are not included.

Troubleshooting

Basin is unstable after installation.

Ensure the basin fixing kit is securely tightened to the wall and that the pedestal is correctly positioned and stable underneath the basin. Verify the floor surface is level.

Water is not draining from the basin.

Check the basin waste trap and U-bend for blockages. Ensure the waste pipe is clear and properly connected.

Taps are leaking at the base.

Re-tighten the tap fittings following the manufacturer's instructions. Ensure rubber washers or seals are correctly seated and not damaged.

Water is overflowing despite the overflow hole.

Ensure the integrated overflow channel is clear of any debris that might be obstructing water flow. Check that the basin waste is not partially blocked, causing water to back up.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Mounting: Secure the basin to the wall using an appropriate basin fixing kit (sold separately, code 5056211841159 recommended). Ensure the wall is suitable for supporting the weight of the basin and pedestal.
  2. Pedestal Installation: Position the full pedestal beneath the basin, ensuring it is stable and correctly aligned. The pedestal is designed to support the basin and conceal the waste pipework.
  3. Tap Installation: Install your chosen pillar taps into the pre-drilled two tap holes. Follow the tap manufacturer's instructions for proper sealing and connection.
  4. Waste Installation: Fit a suitable basin waste (not included) into the basin's waste outlet and connect it to your drainage system, ensuring all connections are watertight.
  5. Plumbing Connections: Connect the hot and cold water supply lines to the installed taps and connect the waste pipe to the drain.

Compatibility:

  • Taps: Compatible with standard pillar taps designed for two-hole basins. Taps are not included.
  • Waste Fittings: Requires a standard basin waste and overflow fitting. Waste fittings are not included.
  • Fixings: Requires a basin fixing kit suitable for wall mounting. The recommended kit code is 5056211841159. Fixings are not included.
  • Drainage: Standard bathroom plumbing connections apply.
  • Complementary Products: Designed to coordinate with other items in the Balterley Vito range, such as the matching toilet.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Clean the basin regularly using a soft, damp cloth. Mild, non-abrasive bathroom cleaners can be used for tougher stains. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scouring pads that could damage the vitreous china surface.
  • Maintenance: Periodically check all plumbing connections for leaks. Ensure the overflow is clear of debris.
  • Stain Removal: For stubborn stains, a paste of baking soda and water can be gently applied and wiped away. Rinse thoroughly.
