What to check
- 01
Check if the basin has one tap hole, two tap holes or needs a wall-mounted tap.
- 02
Match the waste type to the basin overflow: slotted for overflow, unslotted for no overflow.
- 03
Use a tall mixer for many countertop basins, depending on bowl height.
- 04
Match the bottle trap and visible fittings to the tap finish where possible.
Before you buy
Bathroom products need to work with the room, the pipework and the other visible fittings. Build a complete list before ordering, not just the headline item.
Keep measurements and product codes together, and check whether wastes, traps, valves, fixings or connectors are included or need adding separately.
