High-quality and Beautiful Basin Collection

At Melbourne Bathroom Shop, we believe the right basin can make all the difference in your bathroom. We offer a wide range of basin types to suit every space, style, and need. All our basins are made with strong, high-quality materials, ensuring long-term durability and easy upkeep.

Types of Basins at Melbourne Bathroom Shop

  • Above-counter basins – A stylish choice that sits entirely on top of the vanity, adding height and presence to your bathroom.
  • Undermount basins – Installed beneath the vanity benchtop for a seamless and modern look, making cleaning easier.
  • Inset basins – Partially recessed into the vanity, offering the elegance of an above-counter style with the practicality of an undermount.
  • Wall hung basins – Fixed directly to the wall, ideal for compact bathrooms or minimalist designs.
  • Semi recessed basins – Extends slightly beyond the vanity front, perfect for maximising bench space while keeping the basin easy to access.
  • Accessible basins – Designed with wheelchair users in mind, meeting accessibility requirements without compromising style.
  • Pedestal basins – A timeless classic with the basin supported by a pedestal leg, giving a neat, self-contained look.

Strong Materials for Long-term Use

Our basins are crafted from premium vitreous china, a material highly regarded for both its strength and beauty. Vitreous china is naturally resistant to stains, making it ideal for bathrooms where cosmetics, soap, and water are in constant use. Its dense, non-porous surface also resists scratches, helping the basin maintain its pristine look even after years of daily use.

We offer both gloss and matte finishes, so you can choose between a sleek, reflective style or a softer, contemporary texture. Our colour range extends beyond traditional white, with subtle tones and modern shades to complement your bathroom design.

The firing process of vitreous china creates a hard, smooth surface that is easy to clean and won’t absorb odours or moisture. This ensures better hygiene, as bacteria and mould find it harder to grow. It also means your basin will keep its original colour and shine for longer, even in busy households.

With these qualities, a Melbourne Bathroom Shop basin is not only a functional fixture but also an investment in long-lasting style and performance.

Tips for Choosing the Right Basin

When selecting a basin, consider the type of vanity you have and how much space is available. Above-counter basins add height, while undermount and inset designs suit a clean, streamlined look. If space is tight, wall-hung or semi-recessed basins work well.

Melbourne Bathroom Shop also offers matching vanities and tapware collections for all basin styles. This ensures you get a coordinated look without the hassle of sourcing items from different places.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How do I choose the right basin type for my bathroom?

Start with your available space, vanity or benchtop, storage needs and preferred tapware. An above-counter basin creates a stronger design feature, while an undermount basin gives the benchtop a cleaner, streamlined look. Inset and semi-recessed basins can provide a practical balance between appearance and usable space, while a wall-hung basin can work well in compact bathrooms and powder rooms. The best choice is the basin that fits your room and everyday routine, not simply the style that looks best in a photo.

2. What basin size should I choose for my vanity?

Check both the basin dimensions and the usable area of your vanity top. Allow enough room for tapware, soap and comfortable hand washing, and make sure the basin does not sit too close to the vanity edges. For inset and undermount basins, also consider how much space the bowl occupies inside the cabinet, as it may interfere with drawers or plumbing. In smaller ensuites or powder rooms, a small basin or semi-recessed design can preserve valuable floor and bench space. Always compare the basin dimensions with the actual vanity before ordering.

3. Will any basin work with any vanity or benchtop?

No. The basin needs to suit the vanity width and depth, benchtop material, cabinet layout and required cut-out. Above-counter basins mainly require suitable waste and tapware positions, while undermount, inset and semi-recessed basins need accurately prepared benchtop openings. A large bowl can also interfere with drawers or internal cabinet structures. For ceramic basins, small dimensional variations can occur during manufacturing, so it is good practice to physically check the basin before making the final stone or benchtop cut-out. This is especially important for customised vanity tops.

4. What tapware should I choose for my basin?

First check whether the basin has 0, 1 or 3 tap holes. A no-tap-hole basin is normally paired with a benchtop-mounted or wall-mounted mixer, while a one-tap-hole basin usually suits a standard mixer. Three tap holes are generally intended for traditional separate hot and cold tapware. For an above-counter basin, the extra basin height may require a tall basin mixer or wall-mounted tapware. Also check spout reach: the water should land comfortably inside the bowl without causing excessive splash. Choosing the basin and tapware together usually gives the best result.

5. Do I need a basin waste with or without overflow?

It depends on the basin. Some basins have an overflow opening, while many contemporary above-counter basins do not. The waste must be compatible with that configuration. For example, some Fienza basins specifically require a 32mm waste with overflow, while non-overflow models require a suitable non-overflow waste.

Melbourne Bathroom Shop carries basin wastes for basins with and without overflow, including selected 32mm and 40mm options. Check whether the waste is included with the basin before ordering rather than assuming the accessory shown in a product image is supplied.

6. What should I measure before ordering a bathroom basin?

Measure the vanity width and depth, available benchtop area and basin dimensions, but also check the plumbing and tapware positions. For an above-counter basin, confirm there is enough room behind or beside the bowl for the mixer. For an undermount or inset basin, check the required cut-out and clearance inside the vanity. Also consider mirror or shaving-cabinet clearance and the final basin height. If you are replacing an existing basin or working with an already-cut stone top, measure the existing opening carefully before purchasing. When in doubt, confirm the basin specification with your cabinet maker or plumber before cutting or installation.
