Bathroom Basins

(129 products)

Bathroom basins here are mostly above counter styles that sit on top of a vanity, in round, oval, square and rectangular shapes from about 30 cm to 70 cm wide, plus built-in vanity basins up to about 1 m. Most are ceramic in white, matt black, grey, green or patterned finishes, with options in tempered glass, river stone, marble, teak, resin and concrete. There are also wall mounted basins and washbasin frames with a built in basin. Tip: check whether the basin has a tap hole, or plan for a wall or benchtop tap.

How to choose bathroom basins

Above counter or wall mounted

An above counter basin sits on the vanity top and makes a feature of the bowl. A wall mounted basin saves floor space in small bathrooms, ensuites and powder rooms. Washbasin frames with a built in basin give you a stand and basin in one.

Measure the space

  • Check the vanity top width and depth, and leave room for the tap and soap.
  • For oval and round basins, check the diameter and height in the product name, for example 40x33 cm.
  • Taller bowls on a standard vanity raise the rim, so check the finished height.

Material and finish

Ceramic is the most common choice and easy to wipe clean. Matt finishes in black, grey or green hide water marks differently from gloss white. Stone, marble and teak give a natural look but each piece varies in shape and colour, and they need more care.

Taps, overflow and waste

Some basins have a faucet hole and overflow hole built in, others need a separate wall tap or a tall benchtop tap. Check what your basin needs and pick the waste to match. Your plumber can advise on connections. You will find fittings in plumbing parts, storage in bathroom cabinets and a finishing touch in mirrors.

Bathroom Basins: common questions

What is the difference between a sink and a basin?

In Australia, a basin is the bowl you wash your hands in, usually in the bathroom, while sink is more often used for the kitchen or laundry. People search for both, but they mean the same thing in a bathroom. This collection is bathroom and vanity basins.

What is an above counter basin?

An above counter basin, also called a countertop or vessel basin, sits on top of the vanity bench rather than being set into it. It is easy to install on a flat top and makes the bowl a feature. Most basins in this collection are above counter styles.

Do I need a basin with a tap hole?

Only if you want the tap mounted on the basin itself. Basins without a tap hole pair with a wall mounted tap or a tall benchtop tap beside the bowl. Check the product name for faucet hole before you choose your tap.

What size bathroom basin should I get?

Measure your vanity top and leave space for the tap and soap. Round and oval basins around 40 cm wide suit most single vanities. Larger 48 cm to 60 cm basins suit wider benches. Wall mounted basins around 40 cm suit small ensuites and powder rooms.

Are oval or round basins better?

It comes down to the look and the space. Oval basins give more length for washing and suit longer vanity tops. Round basins are compact and suit narrower tops. Both come in ceramic and a range of matt and gloss colours here.

Which basin material is easiest to look after?

Ceramic is the easiest day to day, as it wipes clean and stands up well to regular use. Tempered glass is also easy to clean but shows water spots. Stone, marble and wood look great but need gentle cleaners and more care.
