Collection: Basins

Why is choosing the right basin important?

Your basin sets the tone for your bathroom. It’s used every day, so it needs to balance practicality with style. The right choice will enhance both the look and the flow of your space.

What are the different types of bathroom basins?

Bathroom basins come in a range of designs to suit different layouts and styles:

• 
  Pedestal basins – A timeless option that conceals pipework neatly behind a pedestal. Works well in both modern and traditional bathrooms.
  
• 
  Wall-hung basins – Space-saving and minimalist, these attach directly to the wall and keep the floor area clear, perfect for compact bathrooms.
  
• 
  Countertop basins – A bold, modern statement. These sit on top of a vanity or counter for a designer look.
  
• 
  Inset basins – Built into the countertop for a sleek, seamless finish.
  
• 
  Semi-recessed basins – Overhang slightly from a vanity unit, combining storage below with easier access above.

What materials are bathroom basins made from?

• 
  Ceramic & porcelain – Durable, easy to clean, and the most popular choice.
  
• 
  Stone (e.g. marble) – Luxurious and unique, but requires more care.
  
  
• 
  Metal (e.g. stainless steel, copper) – Distinctive, bold, and stylish, though they may need more upkeep.
  

What is the standard height for a bathroom sink?

Most basins are fitted at around 80–85cm (31–33 inches) from the floor. Wall-hung basins can be installed slightly higher or lower depending on your preference.

Can I install a basin myself?

If you’re confident with DIY, installing a basin can be straightforward: switch off the water, mark and secure the basin, connect the pipes, add the taps, and seal the edges. However, if new pipework or wall reinforcement is needed, a professional installer is the best choice to ensure safety and reliability.
