Product Information

Full details

The Balterley Optic basin and full pedestal is designed for homeowners seeking a contemporary and space-saving sink solution for smaller bathrooms, cloakrooms, or en-suites. Its key benefit is the illusion of increased space due to its modern square design and compact dimensions, while the full pedestal discreetly hides unsightly pipework. A potential caveat is that it features a single tap hole, requiring a specific type of mixer tap.

FAQs

What type of tap should I use with this basin?

This basin has a single tap hole, so it is designed for use with a mono basin mixer tap.

Is the tap included with the basin?

No, the tap is not included and must be purchased separately.

What are the overall dimensions of the basin and pedestal?

The dimensions are 520mm in width, 420mm in depth, and 820mm in height.

How do I clean the basin to keep it looking new?

Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

What is the warranty period for this product?

The Balterley Optic basin and full pedestal comes with a 5-year manufacturer’s guarantee.

Can this basin be used in a standard-sized bathroom?

While ideal for smaller spaces, it can be used in any bathroom. Its contemporary design may complement modern decor.

Does the pedestal hide all the pipework?

Yes, the full pedestal is designed to conceal all the necessary pipework and trap for a clean and elegant finish.

Troubleshooting

Water leaking from tap connections.

Ensure the tap fittings are securely tightened and the seals are correctly seated. Check the integrity of the flexible hoses if used.

Basin does not drain effectively.

Check the plug and waste for any obstructions. Ensure the overflow isn't blocked. Verify the trap is installed correctly and not clogged.

Scuff marks or minor scratches on the surface.

For light scuffs, try using a non-abrasive cream cleaner or a melamine foam sponge. For deeper marks, consult a professional or consider replacement if severe.

Pedestal feels unstable.

Ensure the pedestal is properly secured to the floor as per installation instructions. Check that all connecting points between the basin and pedestal are tightened.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Modern, space-enhancing square design suitable for compact areas.
  • Full pedestal effectively hides pipework for a tidy appearance.
  • Durable and easy-to-clean vitreous china material.
  • Includes a practical integrated overflow.
  • Backed by a 5-year manufacturer's guarantee.

Cons

  • Requires a specific mono basin mixer tap due to the single tap hole.
  • Full pedestal may not be suitable for all plumbing configurations or accessibility needs.
  • Dimensions might be too small for larger family bathrooms.
  • Tap is not included and needs to be purchased separately.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Installation requires standard plumbing connections. The basin attaches to the pedestal, and the pedestal is secured to the floor for stability. Ensure all connections are watertight. The basin requires a mono basin mixer tap, which is sold separately and needs to be fitted into the single pre-drilled tap hole. The basin fixing kit (code 5056211841159) should be used for secure mounting.

Compatibility: This basin is designed for use with mono basin mixer taps. Ensure your chosen tap has suitable reach and height for the basin. Standard waste and trap fittings are compatible.

Care: To maintain the pristine finish, clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals, scouring pads, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the vitreous china surface. Wipe dry after cleaning to prevent water spots.
