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. Phil |

Don't buy anything you don't have to from them though - big rip-offs-vil for fittings etc. 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. -- John Stumbles What do you mean, talking about it isn't oral sex? |

(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? NT |

Can't remember whether I drilled it or bashed it out (there was a break-out recess on the underside). -- John Stumbles Fundamentalist agnostic |
