Product Information
Full details
The Balterley Optic basin and semi pedestal is designed for homeowners seeking a contemporary, space-saving solution for smaller bathrooms, cloakrooms, or ensuites. Its key benefit is the illusion of more space created by the semi-pedestal design, combined with durable vitreous china construction. A minor caveat is that it comes with a single tap hole, requiring a specific mono basin mixer tap which is sold separately.

Is the semi-pedestal included with the basin?

What materials is the basin made from?

Can I use a standard bath tap on this basin?

Troubleshooting
Basin is not draining properly
Check the waste trap for any blockages. Ensure the plug is sealing correctly and the overflow is not obstructed.
Tap is leaking at the base
Ensure the tap is securely fitted to the basin and that the rubber seals are correctly positioned and intact. Tighten fittings as per tap manufacturer's instructions.
Water splashes excessively when using the tap
Consider installing a tap with a lower flow rate or a suitable aerator. Ensure the water pressure is not excessively high.
Semi-pedestal appears loose
Re-check the wall fixings for the basin and ensure the semi-pedestal is correctly seated against the basin and wall. Consult a professional if unsure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The basin requires a standard UK waste fitting and a mono basin mixer tap, both sold separately. It is designed to be wall-mounted, with the semi-pedestal providing additional support and completing the look. Refer to the product manual for detailed installation steps, including secure wall fixing. The basin fixing kit (code 5056211841159) is required for secure mounting.
Compatibility: This basin is pre-drilled with one tap hole, making it compatible with all standard mono basin mixer taps. Ensure your chosen tap has the correct reach and spout height for optimal use.
Care: Clean the basin regularly with a mild, non-abrasive bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or scouring pads, which can damage the vitreous china surface. For stubborn stains, a paste of baking soda and water can be effective. Rinse thoroughly after cleaning.
