Hello!
Has anyone here (or any of your friends) chosen countertop basins in their main bathroom?
We would like to have one but are unsure if we are underestimating the cleaning and maintenance effort or overlooking significant disadvantages.
Is there anyone with a few years of experience using them? Would you buy them again, or would you switch back to a traditional sink?

BenBaumeister1 Jun 2020 09:07In our main bathroom, we also have two above-counter basins. However, we chose square ones because they fit flush against the wall at the back. We were concerned that round basins might cause “issues” with cleaning, as it can be difficult to reach behind them… although this depends on how much space there is behind.
But to answer the question, we are very happy with above-counter basins.
Best regards

Thank you all, that’s very clearly helpful!
A quick follow-up question: Has anyone dared to use natural stone? I find it one of the most beautiful options, but I’ve heard the maintenance effort is significantly higher to keep it looking good.
I’m also fine with a nice ceramic basin, but the ones made of natural stone are just truly, truly beautiful. :O

hausnrplus251 Jun 2020 21:38But you still have all the fixtures as classic deck-mounted faucets either in the basin or just behind it, right? I would like to join in by asking about experiences with concealed faucets installed in or on the wall.
The dripping is the same, but of course, there are no limescale deposits around, and the taps can be installed at a more customizable height. Or what do you think?
Any other pros and cons, or is it just an aesthetic choice?

When you install the faucets on the washbasin, you always have to clean around them, which is why ours are installed recessed in the wall.
We have round washbasins that are easy to clean behind... by the way, we didn’t do anything on the wall behind them. At first, we thought we would need some sort of splash guard or similar, but after a year of use, it still looks great.
You don’t really splash that much there after all...
I would imagine natural stone as a washbasin surface could be problematic for long-term use and maintenance.

washbasin, I would find problematic for long-term use and maintenance....We dared to try it for the guest bathroom. A countertop basin made of river stone arrived today as a package, a beautiful piece. We told ourselves if it doesn't stay nice or we damage it, we can just replace it. It wasn’t particularly expensive.
For the main bathroom, however, I tend to prefer ceramic. It is simply more durable.
