How do I pick the right width for a full pedestal basin in my bathroom?

Measure the available wall space and the room you need to move around the basin, then match that to the width bands shown here, compact options around 450mm suit cloakrooms, 550–565mm is the most common size for standard bathrooms, and 600mm plus works well in larger rooms. Allow extra clearance for a tap and for cleaning either side; a 560mm basin like the Royan gives more worktop area than a 450mm RAK compact. If you have a narrow space, look at the 350–450mm group; for a family bathroom choose 550–650mm for better comfort.

Ceramic or vitreous china, which material is better for everyday use?

Both are hard-wearing and commonly used here, but vitreous china has an additional glassy enamel coating that makes it more resistant to stains and chipping, so it's a good choice for a busy family bathroom. Ceramic basins remain very durable and are often more budget-friendly, as seen with several Essentials and Ceramica options. If you want a higher sheen and extra longevity, pick a vitreous china model; if cost is key and you still want solid performance, a quality ceramic will do the job.

Do I need one tap hole or two, and how does that affect tap choice?

One tap hole is for a single-lever mixer and is the usual choice if you want a modern, easy-to-use tap; most basins here (15 of 19) come with one hole. Two holes are for traditional separate hot and cold pillar taps and are available on a few traditional models, such as some Eastlake basins. if you're fitting a contemporary mixer go for a 1-hole 550mm basin; if you're recreating a period look with separate taps, choose a 2-hole traditional basin.

Will a full pedestal basin hide my pipework and offer a stable fit?

Yes, a full pedestal is floor mounted specifically to conceal waste and supply pipes, so your bathroom lines stay out of sight while the pedestal provides structural support. The range emphasises strong, stable builds for long practical life, so a pedestal like the Affine Provence or Ceramica Marseille will both hide pipework and steady the bowl. If you want complete concealment, check the pedestal height aligns with your pipe runs before buying.

How do I decide between a contemporary or traditional full pedestal style?

Think about the rest of your suite and the look you want: contemporary basins have cleaner lines and pair well with modern mixers and minimalist decor, while traditional basins feature classic profiles that suit period bathrooms and two-tap fittings. pair a sleek Affine Amelie with chrome single-lever taps for a modern bathroom, or choose the Park Lane Traditional with pillar taps to match a heritage-style suite. Consider matching brand and size to other sanitaryware for the most cohesive finish.

Full Pedestal Basins

Full pedestal bathroom sinks are the most popular basins you’ll find in the UK’s bathroom suites. One of the main reasons they’re popular is because the floor mounted full pedestal can hide unsightly pipework from view, ensuring that your bathroom's overall design isn’t negatively impacted by a few errant pipes. Plumbworld offers a range of styles for you to choose from, including sleek and contemporary versions or traditionally styled basins. Whichever model you choose, all of our sinks are made using only the highest quality materials for a strong, stable build and a long, practical life.
