Better Bathrooms have a wide range of basins available to purchase today. All types and styles are available to suit every budget.
Basin Types
Pedestal Basins: Classic and elegant, these stand-alone basins are supported by a single pedestal. Ideal for traditional bathrooms, they offer a neat solution by hiding pipework.
Wall-Hung Basins: These basins are mounted directly on the wall, creating a sense of space and making floor cleaning easier. They suit minimalist and modern bathroom designs.
Countertop Basins: Also known as vessel basins, they sit on top of a work surface or vanity unit. These are stylish and come in various shapes, offering a modern and luxurious feel.
Selecting the right basin involves balancing practicality with style to complement your bathroom’s design and your personal preferences. It's a key decision in any bathroom renovation or update.
Space and Layout: Assess the size and shape of your bathroom. A compact basin like a corner or cloakroom basin is ideal for smaller spaces.
Plumbing Requirements: Consider the existing plumbing setup. Some basin types may require more extensive installation work.
Storage Needs: If storage is a priority, consider a vanity unit that combines a basin with storage underneath.
Material: Basins come in various materials like ceramic, stone, glass, and metal. Each material has its own maintenance needs and aesthetic appeal.
Budget: Prices vary significantly based on the type of basin and material. Set a budget that includes potential installation costs.
