What Is a Countertop Basin?
Also known as a vessel basin or sit-on basin, a countertop basin is mounted directly on top of a vanity unit, surface, or console table—rather than being inset or wall-mounted. This format:
-
Adds a focal point to the bathroom
-
Saves space underneath for storage or furniture
-
Offers a luxury spa-like feel
Whether you prefer ceramic, stone resin, or matte finishes, our collection has something for every interior taste.
Benefits of Choosing a Countertop Basin
✅ Modern, Designer Appeal
Countertop basins instantly modernise a bathroom with their clean lines and sculptural form. Their above-counter presence creates a strong visual statement.
✅ Variety of Shapes and Sizes
Our range includes round, oval, square, and rectangular basins to suit any layout—great for compact cloakrooms or large vanity setups.
✅ Easy to Install
Most countertop basins require only a hole for waste fitting, making them quicker to install compared to inset or pedestal basins.
✅ Works With Any Tap Style
Match them with brassware of your choice—whether high-rise mixer taps or wall-mounted spouts—to complete the look.

Installation Tips

Ensure your vanity or worktop is water-resistant (especially around the waste hole)

Use high-rise or wall-mounted taps for better clearance and usability
-
Always fit the basin using appropriate waste fittings, available from our waste fittings category
-
Secure the basin using a bead of silicone or appropriate adhesive to prevent movement
FAQs – Countertop Basins

A: Most countertop basins do not come with a tap hole, as they are designed to work with separate high-rise or wall-mounted taps.
