Basins

The basin sets the tone for the whole bathroom, so it pays to choose the style before anything else. Renovation Kingdom's basin collection brings every major installation type into one place, including above-counter, undermount, pedestal, semi-inset, semi-recessed and wall-mounted designs. 

Each type suits a different space. Pedestal and wall-mounted basins free up floor area in a small bathroom or powder room. Above-counter and undermount basins pair with a vanity or stone top. Semi-inset and semi-recessed basins sit part-way into the benchtop, which saves a little depth where room is tight. 

Before you buy, measure your vanity or wall space and note the tap hole configuration. Check the basin width and depth, and confirm whether you need an overflow. A few centimetres of clearance around the tap makes everyday hand washing much more comfortable. 

Colour and finish count too. White remains the most common choice, and it works with almost any tapware, so it is a safe base if you plan to change the rest of the room later. 

Start with the basin and build the rest of the room around it. Browse the collections below to compare shapes, sizes and installation methods, then pick a basin that fits your layout and your budget. 

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between above-counter and undermount basins? 
Above-counter basins sit on the benchtop, while undermount basins fit beneath it for a flush, easy-wipe surface. 

Which type of bathroom basin saves the most space? 
Wall-mounted and pedestal basins save the most floor space, while semi-recessed basins suit narrow vanities. 

Do I need a vanity for every type of basin? 
No. Pedestal and wall-mounted basins need no vanity, but above-counter, undermount and semi-inset basins need a benchtop. 

What does tap hole configuration mean on a basin? 
It is the number and position of pre-drilled tap holes, which must match your tap style. 

How do I measure a bathroom basin for my vanity? 
Measure the benchtop width and depth, then allow clearance around the bowl for the tap and hand washing.
