Ceramic Basins

Ceramic is the most common material for bathroom basins, and it is easy to see why. The glazed surface is smooth, hard and easy to wipe clean, so a ceramic basin looks good and holds up well to daily use. 

Ceramic basins come in every style, from pedestal and wall-mounted designs to above-counter, inset and undermount bowls. The glaze gives a glossy finish, and the material suits traditional and modern bathrooms alike. 

Choose the style that suits your vanity and space. Check the basin dimensions, the tap hole configuration and whether there is an overflow. Make sure the tap you plan to use suits the bowl, and measure the benchtop or wall space carefully. 

Care is simple. Wipe with a soft cloth and a gentle, non-abrasive cleaner, and avoid harsh scrubbing that could dull the glaze. Avoid dropping heavy objects into the bowl, since ceramic can chip. 

A licensed plumber should install the basin, taps and waste. 

Shape affects use. Round bowls feel softer and suit compact vanities, while rectangular bowls give more usable space, so pick the shape that fits how you wash. 

Browse the range to compare shapes and sizes, and choose a ceramic basin that suits your bathroom.
