Small hand basins

We need a long slender hand basin, no more than 250mm deep, to fit our cloakroom, but ideally it should not be so tiny that water splashes everywhere when people wash their hands.

The ratio of width to depth in a hand basin means that models no deeper than 250mm rarely come any wider than 500mm. The smallest you might consider is the Box at 400x230mm, £148 from Aston Matthews. The Mini Quadro (pictured), 500x250mm, £217, is a stylish option, with a matching towel rail that costs £82; both are available at TC Bathrooms. Other hand basins you could consider include the Hey II, 500x250mm, £195, from Bauhaus Bathrooms at Crosswater Holdings; and the Duravit Happy D Small, 500x250mm, £99.60, from CP Hart. Hand basin prices quoted exclude taps.
