Countertop basins are becoming popular of late thanks to their minimal design, practicality and versatility. 

They come in a large range of styles and therefore suit any bathroom aesthetic, can be matched with any vanity unit or tap style and are relatively easy to install. 

Bathroom storage can be a dilemma. The smallest room in your house only looks smaller when cluttered and scattered with towels and toiletries. Fear not though, we’ve come up with 14 storage ideas and solutions that will help give your bathroom a feeling of style, spaciousness and calm.

Every appliance within your household that uses water needs a waste trap, and it’s even more imperative for one to be utilised in your bathroom. Waste traps sit between your basin and your waste pipe, halting any foul smells or harmful gases from flowing back through the drainage pipe and into your home.

It’s mandatory for household appliances fitted to waste water pipes to possess a water trap between them and the draining pipe, as they’re able to protect your bathroom basin from bacteria or insects, preventing your basin from becoming an entry point for unwanted elements.

As opposed to a lot of external water traps, bathroom sinks and basins feature piping that allows for alterations without needing to dismantle a lot of the plumbing in your bathroom. In most instances, you won’t even need any tools to fit a new basin waste trap or replace an old one.
