What is a designer basin?

A designer basin is chosen for how it looks as much as for what it does. It sits on top of the vanity, so the whole bowl becomes part of the bathroom's design.

Alia basins are stainless steel with a PVD-coated colour, round or rectangular, each with a matching pop-up waste.

Everyday life

Is an Alia designer basin worth it for your bathroom?

It depends on how your bathroom is used and how you want it to feel. These are the everyday moments it's made for.

  • A powder room for guests

    Guests notice the details in a small room. A round basin in Brushed Gold turns a simple vanity into a talking point.

  • A busy family bathroom

    The rectangular basin gives everyone a wider bowl at the end of the day. Brushed Silver or Gunmetal Grey keep the look calm and modern.

  • A finished look

    The waste is made to match the bowl, so nothing breaks the line. It's the kind of detail that makes a bathroom feel complete.

Round or rectangular basin?

Round basin

A round basin softens a compact vanity and suits a powder room or a small bathroom. At 400mm across, it leaves more of the benchtop clear.

Rectangular basin

A rectangular basin brings a wider, more architectural shape. Its 500 × 400mm footprint offers a larger washing area.

Before you order

Will a designer basin suit your vanity?

An above-counter basin needs the right space on the benchtop and a tap that reaches it. Check the size, the waste opening and the tap before anything is cut.

Work through the list, then confirm each point with your cabinetmaker and plumber.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Choosing a designer bathroom basin? Send us a message or phone (03) 9219 0189.

How much do Alia designer basins cost?

The round smooth basin is $550, the round textured $750 and the rectangular $900. Shipping is free Australia-wide.

Do Alia stainless steel basins have an overflow?

Alia round and rectangular basins have a 45 mm drain hole, and a matching stainless steel pop-up waste is included.

Can I undermount an above-counter basin?

Alia round and rectangular basins are above-counter basins that sit on top of the vanity, so they are installed above the benchtop and are not designed to be undermounted. Installation depends on your vanity and plumbing, and Alia recommends a licensed plumber for a leak-free finish.

Can I fit a countertop basin to an existing vanity?

Often, yes. An Alia basin sits on top of the vanity, so the benchtop needs a 45 mm waste opening and clear space for the basin, which is 400 mm across for the round basin and 500 × 400 mm for the rectangular basin. Your cabinetmaker confirms the cut-out, and your licensed plumber connects the pop-up waste and tap.

Will the basin work with wall-mounted tapware?

Yes, if the spout reaches far enough and sits high enough for water to land inside the bowl. Check the tap and basin measurements together before the wall is finished.

What is the difference between a vessel basin and a countertop basin?

A vessel basin and a countertop basin are both names for an above-counter basin: a bowl that sits on top of the vanity, so its full shape shows. An undermount basin is fitted beneath the benchtop. Alia's round and rectangular basins are above-counter designs.

Is a stainless steel basin better than a ceramic basin?

A stainless steel basin has an easy-clean surface that suits daily use. Alia basins come in Brushed Gold, Brushed Silver and Gunmetal Grey finishes, and a matching stainless steel pop-up waste is in the box.

How do I clean a stainless steel basin?

Wipe an Alia stainless steel basin with mild soap and warm water on a soft cloth, then rinse and dry it. Avoid abrasive pads, bleach-based products and harsh chemical cleaners, which help keep the finish looking its best.

Smooth or Textured: which round basin finish should I choose?

Choose Smooth, at $550, for a clean, minimalist look in Brushed Gold, Gunmetal Grey or Brushed Silver. Choose Textured, at $750, for more visual depth and a distinctive statement on the vanity, in Brushed Gold or Brushed Silver.

What size above-counter basin do I need for my vanity?

The Alia round basin is 400 mm across, which suits a compact vanity, powder room or small bathroom. The Alia rectangular basin is 500 × 400 mm, which gives you a larger washing area on a wider vanity. The round basin is from $550 and the rectangular basin is $900.
