Choose a bathroom basin that fits your available space and planned installation. Check its width, depth, mounting arrangement and tap requirements before deciding. Compare basin mixers and vanity units alongside your basin to build a coordinated selection.
The way a basin meets the wall, counter or cabinet changes both the appearance of your bathroom and the space available around it. Use these basin categories to compare the installation styles before choosing a model.
Countertop basins sit above a surface, so their height needs to be considered together with the counter and tap. Drop-in basins sit in a prepared opening with a rim above the surface, while undermount basins are fitted beneath it. Semi-recessed basins project forward from the supporting furniture. Browse vanity basins when matching a basin to a cabinet, and confirm the exact cut-out and support requirements for the combination.
Wall hung basins leave the area below the bowl open and require suitable wall fixings. Explore basins and pedestals when you prefer a coordinated basin-and-support arrangement. Pillar basins offer another sculptural format; check the individual design rather than assuming that a pedestal or fixing kit is included.
Explore butler basins for a deeper, box-like basin style and metallic basins when material and finish are central to the design. Junior basins and wash troughs serve different layouts and users; compare their dimensions, tap positions and intended use with the project requirements.
Basin fittings cover the supporting components. Match the waste to the basin's overflow arrangement, and allow space for the trap, connections and any cabinet drawers. Confirm the supplied parts before requesting a complete quotation.



















Use the product’s specification to confirm the basin dimensions and the fittings it needs. For a replacement, record the existing basin and furniture measurements. Check whether the chosen basin has an overflow and ask for the appropriate waste and trap to be included in the quotation.
Compare the exact basin and vanity specifications, including the mounting arrangement and any required opening. Confirm the combination before ordering, particularly when the products come from different ranges.
Refer to the individual product description and quotation. Ask for the basin, tap, waste and trap to be listed separately so there is no uncertainty about the supplied items.
