Rossco Basins, Baths and Taps
Rossco is a South African bathware brand built around composite and ceramic. Composite is the largest share of the range stocked here and ceramic close to a third, with smaller numbers in quartz, brass and copper. Material is not recorded on every listing, so check the product page.
Basins by mounting method
Mounting is the first decision, and Rossco splits its catalogue the same way. Countertop basins sit on the vanity surface. Under-counter basins, which Rossco calls underslung, fix below it. Drop-in basins set into a cut-out from above, and wall-mounted basins free the floor. Where the bowl stands alone, see freestanding basins, Rossco's pillar basins, and pedestal basins.
Butler sinks, baths and tapware
The butler sinks run from a compact scullery size to a double bowl close to a metre wide. Freestanding baths are the largest and most expensive pieces in the range. Tapware sits under Rossco's Waterflow name, and the basin and shower taps here are short and tall basin mixers plus a concealed shower mixer. Match tap height to mounting: a tall mixer clears a countertop bowl, a short one suits a drop-in or under-counter basin.
Finishes and specification
White is much the most common finish, black next. Black basins and baths gathers the black products across all categories, and concrete basins and baths collects the concrete colourway. Note that concrete names a colour and a surface here, not the material: those products are composite or quartz.
Most listings carry a downloadable technical drawing, and that is the reliable source for dimensions. A few have a title dimension that does not match the recorded measurements, and where the two disagree the drawing settles it. Confirm anything built into joinery before a counter is cut, or see the finishes in person at the Kramerville showroom.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are Rossco basins and baths made from?
The range Bella stocks is mainly composite, with close to a third in ceramic and a smaller number in quartz, brass and copper. Composite and ceramic behave differently in use and in cleaning, so it is worth checking which one a particular product is before you buy. Material is recorded on most listings but not all of them, so where the field is blank, ask us and we will confirm it with the supplier.
What is the difference between an underslung, a drop-in and a countertop basin?
A countertop basin sits on top of the vanity surface. A drop-in basin sets into a cut-out from above, so its rim rests on the counter. An underslung or under-counter basin fixes beneath the counter, leaving the worktop unbroken. Some Rossco titles use more than one of these words, so read the mounting method off the product page rather than the name if the two seem to disagree.
Does Rossco call them pedestal basins or pillar basins?
Rossco uses pillar basin for a basin moulded as one continuous piece from bowl to floor. Bella lists those under freestanding basins. Pedestal basin is kept for a basin and a separate column beneath it, which is a two part arrangement. If you are not sure which you are looking at, the product photograph is the quickest way to tell the two apart.
Which tap suits a Rossco basin?
It depends on the mounting. A countertop bowl adds height above the vanity, so it usually needs a tall basin mixer to clear the rim comfortably. A drop-in, under-counter or wall-mounted basin generally takes a short mixer. Tap hole positions are not recorded on every listing, so confirm the arrangement on the product page or with us before ordering a tap to go with a basin.
Where do I find dimensions and technical drawings?
Most Rossco products carry a downloadable technical drawing on the product page, and that drawing is the most reliable source for dimensions. A small number of listings have a dimension in the title that does not match the recorded measurements. Where that happens the drawing settles it. For anything being built into joinery, confirm with us in writing before the counter is cut.
