Collection: Bathroom Basins

Which basin suits your bathroom?

The right basin depends on your vanity and your style. An above counter basin sits on top of the vanity like a bowl in quality ceramic, making a feature and suiting a modern bathroom, while a wall hung basin fixes straight to the wall. An under-counter basin mounts beneath the benchtop for a clean, wipe-down surface. A wall-hung basin fixes straight to the wall with no vanity, well suited to a tiny powder room. And a vanity basin comes built into or matched with a vanity top for a coordinated look. Decide whether you want a feature bowl, a clean bench or a space-saver, and the type follows.

How do you match a basin to your tapware?

The tap-hole configuration is the key match. A basin comes with no hole (for a wall-mounted spout), one hole (for a single mixer) or three holes (for separate hot, cold and spout). Your basin and your tapware must agree, or they won't fit. An above-counter basin usually pairs with a tall vessel mixer or a wall spout, since a standard mixer sits too low. Check the basin's dimensions fit your vanity top, and that the waste and overflow suit your plumbing. Match the holes to the tap before anything else.

Above counter, wall hung or under counter — which suits you?

Each suits a different setup. An above-counter basin sits on the bench as a bowl, making a design feature and pairing with a tall mixer or wall spout. An under-counter basin mounts below the benchtop for a clean, easy-to-wipe surface. A wall-hung basin fixes to the wall alone, saving space in a small powder room with no vanity. A semi-recessed basin part-sits in the bench for a shallow vanity. Match the basin to your vanity type and whether you want a feature or a clean line.

What we'd tell a friend before they buy a basin

Here's the part people miss. The tap-hole count has to match your mixer exactly — a single-hole basin won't take a three-piece tap set, and there's no workaround, so confirm it before ordering. An above-counter basin needs a taller mixer or a wall spout to clear the raised bowl, which people forget. And check it's a quality ceramic basin or a durable solid surface, since cheap resin scratches and stains. A plumber installs the waste. Buy on the tap-hole match and the height clearance, then the look.

What's an above-counter basin?
An above-counter basin sits on top of the vanity like a bowl, making a design feature. It pairs with a tall vessel mixer or a wall spout, since a standard mixer sits too low.

How do I match a basin to my tap?
Match the tap-hole configuration — no hole for a wall spout, one hole for a mixer, or three holes for a separate tap set. The basin and tapware must agree to fit.

What basin suits a small bathroom?
A wall-hung basin fixes to the wall with no vanity, saving floor space in a small powder room. A compact semi-recessed basin also suits a shallow vanity.

Do basins come with a waste?
Check the listing — some include a waste and some don't. The waste and overflow must suit your plumbing, and a licensed plumber installs it.

Which basin material is most durable?
Quality ceramic and durable solid-surface basins resist scratches and stains. Cheap resin basins scratch and discolour, so check the material before buying.
