FAQs
Can I use this kit on plasterboard walls?
No, this kit is specifically designed for solid masonry surfaces such as brick and concrete and will not provide a secure hold in plasterboard.
Does this kit include instructions?
The kit is designed for standard basin installation, but always follow the installation manual provided with your specific basin as well.
What tools do I need for installation?
You will need a power drill, a masonry drill bit (sized to your plugs), a hammer for inserting plugs, and a wrench or spanner for the nuts.
Is the hardware rust-resistant?
Yes, the components are manufactured from high-quality materials to resist moisture damage and corrosion common in bathroom environments.
Are these fixings compatible with all basin brands?
The kit is compatible with most standard wall-mounted basins, provided the mounting holes in the basin accommodate the stud diameter.
Troubleshooting
The wall plug rotates when inserting the stud
The drill hole may be too large. Ensure you are using a masonry drill bit that exactly matches the recommended diameter for the kit.
The basin feels loose after installation
Re-check that the studs are fully tightened into the plugs and that the nuts are flush against the basin mounting points.
Unable to drill into the wall
Verify the wall material. If you encounter metal or specialized reinforced concrete, you may need a specialized drill bit, as the wall type may be outside the scope of this kit.

- Robust construction ensures long-term stability for heavy ceramic basins
- Easy to install with standard household drilling tools

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure your wall surface is solid brick, concrete, or aerated concrete. Using a drill bit that matches the diameter of the provided wall plugs, drill holes to the necessary depth. Gently tap the plugs into the wall until they are flush. Screw the mounting studs into the plugs using a suitable spanner or wrench, ensuring they protrude enough to accommodate the thickness of the basin rim. Once the basin is placed, secure it with the provided nuts and washers.
Regular care is minimal; however, it is recommended to periodically check the nuts for tightness every few years to ensure no vibrations have caused loosening. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners directly on the hardware to prevent potential corrosion of the metal components.
