Full details

The RAK Ceramics INGOT Round Wash Basin (360mm) is designed for modern bathrooms seeking a sleek, minimalist aesthetic. Its primary benefit is the premium stainless steel construction with a brushed nickel finish, offering durability and a sophisticated look. A key consideration is the absence of pre-drilled tap holes and an overflow, requiring specific installation planning. This basin features a 360mm width and depth, a 110mm height, and a 9.5-litre capacity with a free-flow waste.

Does the basin come with a tap?

What is the warranty period for this basin?

RAK Ceramics offers a 2-year warranty against manufacturing defects for this wash basin.

How do I clean the brushed nickel finish?

Use a soft cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners and harsh chemicals to prevent damage to the finish.

Is this basin suitable for a small bathroom?

Yes, its 360mm diameter makes it an excellent choice for cloakrooms, en-suites, and other compact bathroom spaces.

Does the basin have an overflow?

No, this model does not have an overflow. You need to be mindful of water levels to prevent spills.

What is the water capacity of the basin?

The basin has a water capacity of approximately 9.5 litres.

Troubleshooting

Water is not draining effectively.

Ensure the free-flow waste is correctly installed and not obstructed. Check the bottle trap for blockages.

The brushed nickel finish appears dull or scratched.

Avoid abrasive cleaners. Use a specialized stainless steel cleaner and a soft cloth. Minor scratches may be buffed out with a fine-grit stainless steel polishing compound.

Tap holes need to be created.

While not pre-drilled, holes can be cut using appropriate metal drill bits and a hole saw. This should be done by a qualified plumber or installer to ensure precision and avoid damage.

Basin is unstable after installation.

Re-check all mounting screws and fixings. Ensure the basin is seated correctly on its support or countertop and all sealant is fully cured.

  • Space-saving 360mm size is excellent for compact areas.
  • Clean aesthetic due to the lack of pre-drilled holes and overflow.
  • Includes a convenient free-flow waste.

Cons

  • Requires separate purchase of a compatible tap and bottle trap.
  • Absence of pre-drilled tap holes necessitates wall-mounted or countertop tap installation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Mounting: Determine the mounting method (e.g., countertop or wall-mounted). Ensure secure fixing points are established.
  2. Tap Installation: Select a tap with a suitable base diameter for the 360mm basin. Wall-mounted taps are recommended due to the lack of pre-drilled holes.
  3. Waste Plumbing: Connect the included free-flow waste to the basin and then to your existing or new waste pipework. Ensure a watertight seal.

Compatibility:

  • Taps: Compatible with any basin tap designed for surface mounting or wall mounting. Standard hole-saw drills can be used to create holes in the stainless steel if desired, but professional installation is recommended.
  • Waste Traps: Requires a standard free-flow waste fitting and a compatible bottle trap or P-trap.

Care:

  • Clean the basin regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh chemicals, as these can scratch or damage the brushed nickel finish.
  • For stubborn marks, use a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for stainless steel or nickel finishes.
  • Wipe dry after each use to prevent water spots.
