Countertop Basins

Australia’s Leading Range of Countertop Basins

Countertop basins are the perfect fusion of form and function. Designed to sit proudly above the vanity surface, these basins bring an architectural element to the bathroom, effortlessly transforming even the most compact spaces into refined, contemporary sanctuaries. Whether you’re aiming for a modern, minimalist aesthetic or a bold, designer look, a countertop basin is a practical yet striking centrepiece that elevates the everyday.

At Bathroom Sales Direct, we curate a wide selection of countertop basins to suit all kinds of spaces, styles, and budgets. With quality materials, trusted brands, and timeless designs, our collection is crafted to help you build a bathroom you’ll love using every day.

Why Countertop Basins Are a Smart Choice

As one of the most versatile basin styles available, counter basins offer a long list of benefits that go far beyond aesthetics. Their above-counter design creates a strong visual impact, drawing the eye and giving the room a sense of height and openness. Because the basin sits on top of the vanity, it also frees up additional space beneath the counter—ideal for storage or layered design elements like stone benchtops or timber cabinetry.

But it’s not just about looks. Countertop basins are made to last, constructed from robust materials that resist chipping, scratching, and discolouration. Their smooth, non-porous surfaces make them easy to clean and maintain, while installation is simpler than with traditional undermount or inset options. Whether you’re working with a plumber or managing the installation yourself, a countertop basin can make the process more straightforward.

These basins are also highly adaptable. With a wide range of sizes and shapes available, they work just as well in small powder rooms as they do in full-sized family bathrooms or luxury ensuites.

Materials That Combine Strength & Style

The right material plays a key role in both the appearance and performance of your basin.

Ceramic is a timeless favourite—glossy, smooth, and exceptionally hard-wearing. It’s easy to keep clean and works beautifully in almost any design scheme, from Hamptons to modern minimalism.

Stainless steel offers something more contemporary. With its sleek, brushed or polished finish, it adds a refined industrial touch and brings excellent resistance to corrosion and heat. It’s particularly suited to bold, high-contrast bathroom interiors.

Stone is the ultimate statement. Whether carved from marble, travertine or granite, each stone basin features a unique texture and veining that makes it one of a kind. These basins bring warmth, texture, and a grounded, organic feel to your bathroom space.

Shapes & Styles to Suit Any Interior

From soft curves to structured lines, the shape of your basin can influence the entire flow of your bathroom. Our range includes pill-shaped basins that deliver a softer, more fluid look—ideal for modern bathrooms with rounded mirrors and curved vanity edges.

For those who want to introduce texture and a designer feel, fluted basins offer sculptural beauty with vertical grooves that play with light and shadow. Round basins are a safe and stylish option for almost any bathroom layout, while rectangular shapes bring sharp definition and a streamlined aesthetic, perfect for double vanities or contemporary fit-outs.

Whether you want your basin to stand out or blend seamlessly into the design, you’ll find the perfect option here.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know which shape of countertop basin is right for my bathroom?

Choosing the right shape depends on your vanity size, bathroom layout, and overall style. Round or pill-shaped basins work well in bathrooms with softer, organic design elements, while rectangular basins suit more structured, modern interiors. 

If your vanity is compact, a round or oval basin can help maximise usable counter space. For larger vanities, double rectangular basins offer a clean, symmetrical look. Always consider both aesthetics and practicality—your basin should complement your design while meeting your daily needs.

How much space do I need for a countertop basin?

Most countertop basins require at least 400–500mm of vanity depth to sit comfortably and provide adequate splashback clearance. You’ll also want to leave enough space around the basin for accessories, tapware, and handwashing.

 It’s important to check the exact dimensions of the basin you choose, including its height and width, and ensure it suits the proportions of your vanity. For tighter spaces, opt for a smaller or slim-profile basin that doesn’t overpower the benchtop.

What do I need to do to keep my countertop basin at its best?

Countertop basins are designed to be low maintenance, especially when made from quality materials like ceramic, stainless steel, or natural stone. To keep yours looking its best, wipe it down regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap. 

Avoid abrasive cleaners, as they can dull the finish or scratch the surface. If you have a stone basin, you may also want to apply a stone-safe sealer periodically to protect against staining. Regular care helps preserve the look and longevity of your basin.

Are countertop basins good for smaller bathrooms?

Yes, countertop basins can be a great option for small bathrooms. Their elevated design allows for more usable storage space underneath the vanity, which can be a big advantage in compact layouts. 

Slimline or round countertop basins take up less visual and physical space, helping to maintain an open, uncluttered feel. Choosing the right size and shape will ensure your basin enhances the space without overwhelming it.
