FAQs

What is included with the RAK Ceramics Alexandra Console Basin?

The package includes the RAK Ceramics Alexandra Console Basin with 3 tap holes and an integrated overflow. Taps, basin waste, and mounting fixings are sold separately.

What type of waste should I use with this basin?

As this basin has an overflow, you will need a slotted basin waste (1 1/4" size).

Can I install this basin myself?

Installation requires wall mounting and plumbing connections. If you are not experienced with bathroom fitting, it is recommended to hire a qualified plumber or tradesperson for safe and correct installation.

What are the exact dimensions of the basin?

The basin measures 1050mm in width, 210mm in height, and 605mm in depth.

How do I clean the gloss ceramic finish?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads to prevent scratching the finish.

What is the warranty period for this basin?

RAK Ceramics provides a 25-year guarantee on this basin, reflecting its quality and durability.

Can I use a single mixer tap with this basin?

No, this basin is specifically designed with three tap holes for use with a 3-hole tap set (e.g., separate hot and cold taps and a central spout).

Troubleshooting

Basin is unstable after installation

Ensure all mounting points are securely fastened to a structurally sound wall. Check that appropriate wall fixings for the type of wall (e.g., stud, brick, plasterboard) have been used.

Water is not draining efficiently

Check that the slotted waste is correctly installed and not obstructed. Ensure the connecting pipework is clear of blockages. Verify the water trap is installed correctly.

Difficulty installing taps

Ensure you are using taps specifically designed for a 3-hole basin. Follow the tap manufacturer's installation instructions carefully. Check that the holes on the basin align with the tap fittings.

Persistent water stains or marks on the surface

Use a non-abrasive bathroom cleaner recommended for ceramic surfaces. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately after cleaning.

Pros and Cons

  • Three tap holes offer flexibility for tap selection.
  • Easy to clean gloss ceramic finish.
  • Integrated overflow for added safety and convenience.
  • Long-term durability backed by a 25-year guarantee.

Cons

  • Taps and waste are sold separately, adding to the overall cost.

  • The traditional design might not suit extremely contemporary bathroom styles.
  • Large 1050mm width may not fit in very compact bathrooms.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This console basin requires wall mounting. Ensure the wall structure is sound and capable of supporting the basin's weight, especially when filled with water. Mounting brackets and appropriate fixings (not included) should be used according to manufacturer instructions and local building codes. The basin is designed for a standard 3 tap hole configuration and requires appropriate plumbing connections for hot and cold water supply and a waste outlet.

Compatibility:

  • Taps: Compatible with any standard 3-hole basin mixer taps. Ensure tap spout reach is adequate for the basin depth.
  • Waste: Requires a standard 1 1/4" basin waste (slotted or unslotted, depending on whether the basin has an overflow hole - this model *does* have an overflow, so a slotted waste is required). A bottle trap or standard trap can be used for plumbing.
  • Plumbing: Standard plumbing connections for hot and cold water and waste.

Care:

To maintain the basin's pristine gloss finish, avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals. Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth and a mild detergent. For tougher stains, a non-abrasive bathroom cleaner can be used sparingly. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots. Periodically check all plumbing connections for leaks.
