FAQs
What type of waste fitting do I need?
You will need a standard basin waste fitting compatible with a countertop basin. A click-clack or plug-and-chain waste is typically suitable.
Can I use any tap with this basin?
Yes, you can use most standard pillar taps or wall-mounted taps. Ensure the tap's reach and height are suitable for the basin's dimensions.
Is this basin suitable for a small bathroom?
Yes, its compact 31cm width makes it an excellent choice for small bathrooms, en-suites, or cloakrooms.
How do I clean the gloss white finish?
Clean with a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Rinse and dry thoroughly to maintain the shine.
Does it come with a tap or waste fittings?
No, the basin is sold separately from taps and waste fittings. These will need to be purchased in addition.
What is the material of the basin?
The basin is made from durable ceramic with a gloss white finish.
Can this basin be installed directly onto a shelf?
It can be installed on any suitable countertop or vanity unit that is strong enough to support it and has the correct cut-out for the waste.
Troubleshooting
Basin wobbles after installation
Ensure the basin is properly adhered or sealed to the countertop. Check that the countertop itself is level and stable. Reapply sealant if necessary.
Slow draining
Check the basin waste trap for blockages. Ensure the waste pipe is clear and correctly installed with adequate fall.
Discoloration or stains
Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner designed for ceramic. Avoid leaving harsh chemicals or coloured substances in the basin for extended periods. For persistent stains, consult a specialist bathroom cleaner.
Tap leaks at the base
Ensure the tap's base seal or putty is correctly applied and the tap is securely tightened to the countertop or basin deck (if applicable).

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This basin is designed for countertop installation. Ensure your vanity unit or countertop is sturdy and has the correct cut-out for the basin's waste. Secure the basin firmly to the countertop using appropriate adhesive or sealant as recommended by your installer. Plumbing connections for the waste and tap will need to be made according to standard bathroom fitting practices.
Compatibility: The basin requires a standard basin waste fitting and a compatible tap (either wall-mounted or deck-mounted, depending on your vanity's design). It is compatible with most standard bathroom plumbing systems. Ensure your countertop can support the weight of the basin when filled with water.
Care: Clean the basin regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals, scouring pads, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the gloss finish. For stubborn marks, use a cleaner specifically designed for ceramic sanitaryware. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
