Washbasins & Bathroom Sinks

Surface-mounted bowls sit proud on top of a vanity unit or worktop, giving a sculptural look with generous storage beneath. Semi-recessed designs, such as Venticello, drop partially into the counter so the front edge projects, which suits narrow bathrooms where every centimetre counts.

Compact 380 mm and 400 mm bowls work in cloakrooms and en-suites, 560 mm to 610 mm widths handle a main family bathroom comfortably, and elongated 585 mm formats suit slim counters. Leave at least 200 mm of free counter beside the bowl for everyday items.

Artis presents crisp geometric bowls with a thin rim, offered square or rectangular, and all supplied without overflow. Collaro shares similar precision yet includes softer rounded formats plus versions with overflow. Both mount on the surface, so selection comes down to bathroom character rather than function.

An overflow drains excess water automatically if a tap is left running, which reassures households with young children. Bowls without one look cleaner and are simpler to wipe, though they demand a matching slotted or unslotted waste. Check that detail before ordering taps and fittings.

Unpolished describes the underside and rim treatment rather than the visible glaze, which stays smooth and glossy. The specification matters when a bowl sits on a counter, because it affects how the base beds down onto its sealant. Visible surfaces remain fully glazed and easy to clean.

Tall pillar taps mounted on the counter behind the bowl, or wall-mounted spouts, both work well because a raised basin needs extra spout height. Standard low monobloc taps usually sit too close and splash. Confirm spout projection reaches roughly the centre of your chosen bowl.

Surface-mounted bowls need a counter, vanity top, or bracketed shelf underneath, so they cannot hang alone. Villeroy & Boch furniture ranges are designed around these dimensions, though a stone or solid-surface worktop cut to size achieves the same result with a more bespoke feel.

White Alpin is the brand’s signature bright white, the tone used across baths, toilets, and basins so components match exactly. A single Collaro model is offered in Stone White, a softer warmer shade for schemes built around timber and natural stone rather than crisp monochrome.

Warm water with mild detergent suits daily wiping, and a soft cloth avoids scratching the glaze. Steer clear of scouring powder and strong acids. Cypriot water deposits limescale around the waste quickly, so a weekly vinegar wipe there prevents the dull ring from establishing itself.

Wastes and traps are ordinarily purchased separately, because the correct type depends on whether your bowl has an overflow. Choosing them together with the basin avoids a mismatch. Showroom staff specify the right combination and confirm the visible finish matches your taps.

The bowl beds onto the counter using manufacturer-approved silicone, with the waste connection pulling it down onto the sealed surface. Cut-outs must be accurate, so a template is essential when a worktop is being fabricated. Poor sealing lets moisture reach the substrate and swell it.

Ceramic whites vary noticeably between manufacturers, which becomes obvious once fittings sit side by side. Choosing pan, bath, and basin from one collection removes that risk entirely. Bring a photograph of your existing suite to a showroom and staff will advise honestly on compatibility.

This category is Villeroy & Boch throughout, the maker Hadjikyriakos represents as authorised distributor in Cyprus. That status means genuine components, accurate technical drawings for your installer, and warranty handling managed on the island rather than through a distant regional office.

Hadjikyriakos showrooms across Nicosia, Limassol, and Paphos display basins in situ, and the online store carries the same range with fast and free island-wide delivery. Since 1886 our advisers have matched bowls to furniture, taps, and wastes before any order is confirmed.
