FAQs
What are the exact dimensions of the Rea Marcela 60 washbasin?
The washbasin is 60cm in width. Specific depth and height dimensions should be confirmed via the product's technical drawing or specification sheet, as these can vary slightly.
Do faucets, siphons, and plugs come with the washbasin?
No, the Rea Marcela 60 washbasin is sold separately. Faucets, siphons, and plugs are available to purchase as complementary items from the Rea range.
Can this washbasin be installed without a countertop?
This is a countertop washbasin, meaning it is designed to sit on top of a counter or vanity. It is not designed for pedestal or wall-hung installation without a supporting surface.
How do I clean the sanitary ceramic?
Use a soft cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads to maintain the glaze's finish.
What type of faucet is recommended for this basin?
This basin is compatible with most standard faucets. Consider the basin's dimensions and your personal preference for deck-mounted or wall-mounted options. Ensure the faucet's spout reach is adequate.
Is professional installation required?
While DIY installation is possible for those with plumbing experience, professional installation is recommended to ensure a proper, watertight seal and correct plumbing connections.
Troubleshooting
Basin wobbles after installation
Ensure the basin is properly seated on the countertop and the sealant has cured. Check that mounting clips (if applicable and included with countertop support) are secure.
Water is not draining effectively
Check the drain assembly for blockages. Ensure the siphon and tailpiece are correctly installed and not restricted. Verify the overflow is clear.
Sealant is visible around the rim
Excess sealant can be carefully trimmed with a sharp utility knife once cured. Ensure a clean application next time.
Small chips or scratches appear
For minor cosmetic issues, ceramic repair kits might be available. Avoid dropping hard objects into the basin.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:

- Mark the cutout template on the countertop according to the basin's dimensions.
- Cut the opening in the countertop carefully.
- Apply a bead of silicone sealant around the rim of the basin or the countertop opening to create a watertight seal.
- Carefully place the basin into the cutout, ensuring a snug fit.
- Connect the drain and overflow fittings, followed by the faucet and water supply lines as per their respective manufacturer instructions.
Compatibility:

Care:

- Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals that can damage the ceramic glaze.
- Wipe dry after cleaning to prevent water spots.
- Address any drips or leaks promptly by checking plumbing connections.
