Pedestal Basins
Sort by:
Pedestal basins are ceramic basins that sit on top of a matching floor-standing column.
Perfect for bathrooms, en-suites and cloakrooms. The pedestal carries part of the weight and conceals the waste pipe and water supply, so the finished basin looks neat without any boxing in. It's also one of the simplest basin setups to fit, as the wall only needs light bracket fixings rather than reinforcement.
Bathroom Mountain offers pedestal basins in white ceramic, in traditional and modern styles, with round, square and curved bowl shapes. Widths run from 500mm to 570mm, with single tap hole and double tap hole versions so you can fit a mixer tap or a separate hot and cold pair. Ceramic wipes clean with a normal bathroom cleaner and holds its finish for years. A plumber connects the tap and waste to finish the job properly.
As a leading UK bathroom retailer, Bathroom Mountain offers affordable and quality pedestal basins backed by our Price Match Promise, fast next-day UK delivery options and an Excellent Trustpilot rating, so you can buy with confidence.
What Is A Pedestal Basin?
A pedestal basin is a ceramic basin that sits on top of a matching floor-standing column, which supports part of the weight and conceals the waste pipe and water supply behind it. It's the classic basin setup found in most UK bathrooms.
What Size Pedestal Basin Should I Buy For My Bathroom?
Pedestal basins on this page range from 500mm to 570mm wide, which covers most standard bathrooms and en-suites. Measure your available wall width and leave elbow room either side, then check the projection from the wall so the basin sits clear of any doorway or walkway.
What's The Difference Between A Single Tap Hole And A Double Tap Hole Basin?
A single tap hole basin takes one mixer tap, giving you hot and cold from one spout, which suits most modern bathrooms. A double tap hole basin takes two separate taps, one hot and one cold, which is the traditional setup and the right choice if you're keeping a period look.
Should I Choose A Pedestal Basin Or A Wall Hung Basin?
A pedestal basin hides the pipework behind its column and doesn't need a reinforced wall, which makes it simpler and usually cheaper to fit. A wall hung basin frees up the floor underneath and makes a small bathroom look more open, though it needs a strong wall.
Do Pedestal Basins Suit Small Bathrooms And Cloakrooms?
Pedestal basins at 500mm work well in smaller bathrooms and larger cloakrooms. Measure carefully in a very tight cloakroom, since the pedestal needs enough depth in front of it to stand comfortably.
Do I Need A Plumber To Fit A Pedestal Basin?
Fitting a pedestal basin is one of the easier basin installations, since the pedestal carries much of the weight and only light wall brackets are needed. The tap, waste and water supply still need connecting properly, so a plumber will get it leak-free first time.
How Do I Keep A Pedestal Basin Clean?
White ceramic wipes down easily with normal bathroom cleaner and holds its colour for years. The spot most people miss is where the bowl meets the pedestal, so run a cloth around that join regularly to keep it looking fresh.
How to Choose Pedestal Basins for Your Bathroom?
To choose pedestal basins for your bathroom, measure your wall width and the floor space in front of it first, then decide between a single tap hole for a mixer or a double tap hole for separate taps. Pick traditional or modern styling to suit your existing suite, and check your waste pipe position lines up before ordering.
