Hi Chaps,

I am looking to re-fresh our downstairs cloakroom. The fitted suite is a full pedestal basin but only 375mm deep
We'd still like to keep the full length pedestal but I am struggling to find such a shallow basin unit.

Any ideas where to look thats not going to cost the earth ( matching W/C required as well )
I'm based in Gloucestershire if that helps smile


Thanks

Something like this? might be a bit too narrow though

Thanks, does look like pedestal cloakroom suites are so last year. I just don't like the look of all the pipes on the 'free' wall styles.

Vanitory unit? (often mispelled 'vanity') Then you get storage for bog rolls, etc as well.

Important to bear in mind the difficulties of supporting a basin without a ped. Stud walls are a nightmare without opening them up to put noggins in, even dry lining can be a disaster depending on where the dabs are.

Ferg, get with the times, that is what gripfill was designed for...... whistle

Jokes aside, I have actually been to jobs and seen wall hung basins supported by 2 inch screws, huge washers and a sh*tload of silicone...Yee Haa!
