Basins
Modern Bathroom Basins
The basin is the most visual element of your vanity area. It sets the design theme for the whole bathroom. We supply a range of modern basins made from high grade materials. Whether you want a bold above counter basin or a seamless under counter style basin, our collection offers excellent durability. Choosing the right basin depends on your storage needs and the look of your bathroom vanities.
Styles to Suit Your Layout
A new basin can refresh your bathroom without a full tear down. Above counter basins act as a striking focal point. They sit on top of the bench and are very easy to install. Under counter basins sit below the bench for a minimalist look. These are perfect if you want a clean surface that is easy to wipe down.
You should consider how your basin will work with your premium tapware. For example, above counter basins usually require a tall mixer or a wall mounted set. Under counter basins work well with standard height mixers. Getting these proportions right ensures you don't get excessive splashing during use.
Think about the basin depth as well. If you often use your basin for soaking items or a full facial routine, a deeper bowl is a practical choice. It helps contain the water and prevents mess on your benchtop. Also, check the drain position. A central drain is standard, but some modern designs use a rear drain. This can free up more space inside your vanity cabinet for drawers.
Durable Materials and Finishes
We focus on basins that are easy to maintain and built to last. Our ceramic basins feature a high gloss or matte finish that resists staining and scratching. These are non porous materials, which means bacteria cannot hide in the surface. This makes them a very hygienic choice for family homes.
You can complement your basin with our range of bathroom accessories. Matching your basin waste to your tapware finish is a small detail that makes a big impact. We offer pop up wastes in all our signature colours like brushed gold and gun metal.
We also recommend checking the basin rim thickness. A thin, "pencil edge" rim looks very modern and delicate. A thicker rim provides a more solid and classic appearance. Vitreous china is our material of choice because it's baked at high temperatures. This makes it incredibly tough. It won't yellow over time like some cheaper plastic or resin alternatives. Plus, it's very easy to clean with standard household bathroom sprays.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between an above counter and under counter basin?
An above counter basin sits on top of the vanity bench. It is a bold design choice. An under counter basin is mounted underneath the benchtop. This creates a flush surface that is very easy to clean.
Do I need an overflow in my basin?
An overflow is a small hole that stops the basin from flooding if the tap is left on. Many modern basins do not have overflows for a cleaner look. If you choose a basin with an overflow, you must use a slotted waste.
What tapware works with an above counter basin?
You will need either a tall or extended basin mixer that can reach over the rim. Alternatively, you can use wall mounted taps. A standard height mixer will usually be too short for this style of basin.
How do I clean a matte finish basin?
Use warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive scouring pads or bleach. These can damage the finish and make the surface look dull over time.
