If you are after a modern look for a cloak room, I got a rectangular one
from thebathstore.
Not cheap, but just right for the space and the look I was after.
Also no overflow, so not good if you have v. young kids.
Don't buy anything you don't have to from them though - big rip-offs-vil for
fittings etc.

Try a specific 'google' for 'RAK ceramics'.

Got a Roca 'Hall' (IIRC) - rectangular trough-like design - from some
online vendor. It's quite small front-to-back[1] with flatt-ish bits at
the sides, one of which has a hole in for a monoblock mixer tap (so the
tap is to the side, instead of at the back).

One gripe: since the plateaux at the sides slope slightly a mixer tap
that's designed to look right when mounted on a horizontal surface will
look like the tower of Pisa on this one unless one does some improvisation
to straighten it up.


[1] why isn't there a word for this, like "short" for un-tall/long, and
narrow for un-wide. For that matter why is 'depth' ambiguous - could be
front to back or could be top to bottom? Bah, stupid English language.

For what purpose and/or which room?
(Sinks usually go in kitches, or did you mean a basin for a
bath/cloak room?)

Thanks for everyone's ideas so far. Ideally I'd like something smaller
than 50cm long though, without going bigger than 25cm back to front -
and less would be ideal. I'm not seeing it on those pages though.

Its not for kitchen or bathroom, more to make water available
elsewhere in the house without endless treks. So its never going to be
used for serious washing up, just an access point.

While I'm here, one q, just in case it comes to this: if I got a
suitable ceramic container with no waste hole, could it be drilled/
cut?

There's 7 pages of hand basins here :-

My Roca Hall is 50cm wide x 24cm front-back

Although I asked for a hole in mine they didn't supply one. I asked them to
send it on but they didn't :-|. Can't remember whether I drilled it or
bashed it out (there was a break-out recess on the underside).

ha. The ideal standard I'm looking at comes with holes included in the
pack, so no worry.

Thanks everyone!
