Pedestal basins are a classic choice for many bathrooms due to their minimalist design, but ample functionality. A basin with a pedestal provides support for the basin while helping to conceal unsightly plumbing and pipes underneath, giving your bathroom or toilet a fresh and clean look.
Whether you choose a full pedestal basin or a semi pedestal basin, there are options to suit bathrooms of different sizes. A full pedestal extends from the basin down to the floor, while a semi-pedestal basin is fixed to the wall with a shorter pedestal underneath, leaving more floor space visible.
Our pedestal sinks are made of quality ceramic and the white finish fits well with any decor, suiting both modern and traditional interiors. They also come with 1 or 2 pre-drilled holes to fit your desired basin taps, available separately.
FAQs
Do pedestal sinks save space?
Yes, they’re a good option for smaller bathrooms or tight spaces as they don’t take up much space. If you opt for a semi-pedestal basin, these take up even less floor space.
What is a semi-pedestal basin?
A semi-pedestal basin is wall-mounted with a half size pedestal underneath it which doesn’t extend all the way to the floor. The semi-pedestal still hides pipework, but it can make the bathroom appear larger by taking up less floor space.
What is a full pedestal basin?
Full pedestal basins are the most popular basin type that you’ll commonly find in most bathrooms. The floor mounted full pedestal goes from floor to sink and hides pipework from view, meaning that the design or décor of your bathroom isn’t impacted.
How to fit a pedestal basin
Fitting a pedestal basin involves both securing the basin and connecting water and waste pipes. The exact process can vary depending on the basin and pedestal design, so always check the manufacturer's installation instructions first. As a general rule of thumb:
- Plan the position of the sink
- Check the wall and floor for support, making sure they’re suitable for installation
- Position the pedestal and basin
- Mark and drill the fixing holes
- Fit the taps and waste
- Secure the basin
- Connect the water supply
- Connect the waste
- Check everything is secure
- Test for leaks
- Apply sealant if required
