Cloakroom & Wall Mounted

Frequently Asked Questions:

1. What is a cloakroom basin or vanity unit?

A cloakroom basin or vanity is a compact sink setup designed for small bathrooms, en-suites, and downstairs WCs. They are usually narrower and shallower than standard basins, making the most of limited space.

2. What sizes do cloakroom basins and vanities come in?

Most cloakroom basins are 250–450mm wide, while compact vanity units are typically 400–500mm wide and have a reduced depth (200–350mm) to avoid intruding into the room.

3. Are wall-mounted cloakroom basins practical?

Yes. Wall-mounted basins and vanities free up floor space, making small rooms feel bigger and easier to clean. They can still provide a useful amount of storage if you choose a wall-hung vanity unit.

4. Do cloakroom vanity units offer storage space?

Even the smallest vanity units usually come with one cupboard or a slim drawer to store toiletries, cleaning products, or hand towels — perfect for keeping small spaces clutter-free.

5. Do cloakroom and wall-mounted basins come with taps and wastes included?

Not always. Most are sold as basin or unit only, so you’ll need to buy taps and wastes separately. Many cloakroom basins are designed for short-projection mixer taps, so it’s important to check compatibility.
