When choosing a bathroom sink or vanity unit, many homeowners focus on the finished design. However, what truly defines the quality of a bespoke piece is how it is made.
At QualiPorcelain, every sink and vanity unit is carefully fabricated by hand in our workshop in Bodmin, Cornwall. Founded by Radek, a skilled tiler and bathroom fitter with more than 20 years of experience, the business was created to offer something different from mass-produced bathroom fixtures.
Instead of factory moulds and standardised shapes, each sink is individually designed, cut, and assembled by hand, creating unique bathroom centrepieces that combine modern design with practical durability.
Our pieces are chosen by homeowners, interior designers, architects, contractors, and developers looking for distinctive bathroom features that cannot be found in standard showrooms.
Why Porcelain Slab Is Ideal for Bespoke Bathroom Sinks
Porcelain slab has become one of the most popular materials in modern bathroom design. Its strength, durability, and refined appearance make it particularly well suited to bespoke sinks and vanity units.
Porcelain surfaces offer several important benefits:
High resistance to scratches and stains
Extremely low water absorption
Easy cleaning and maintenance
A wide range of colours, textures, and finishes
We work with a large range of porcelain slab brands and finishes, allowing customers to create a design that complements their bathroom style. Customers can either choose from available materials or send their own porcelain tiles or slabs directly to our workshop for fabrication.
Many of these designs can be seen in our Sinks Washbasins collection, where a variety of handmade sink styles are available.
The Craftsmanship Behind Every Sink
Every QualiPorcelain basin is fabricated through a precise, hands-on process carried out by a master craftsman. The porcelain slabs are cut carefully and assembled by hand to create the finished structure.
Unlike factory-made sinks, where speed and repetition are prioritised, our focus is on precision, durability, and attention to detail.
Each sink is constructed using:
Waterproof tile board structural support
Cement-based tile adhesive for strength
Specialist resin bonding materials
This construction method ensures a strong and stable basin capable of lasting many years.
Handmade Pieces Designed to Be Unique
One of the most important differences between handmade and mass-produced bathroom sinks is individuality.
Every sink we produce is built to order, meaning no two pieces are exactly the same. Each project becomes a centrepiece within the bathroom, often acting as a focal point within modern bathroom designs.
This level of craftsmanship allows us to create pieces that feel more like bespoke furniture than standard bathroom fixtures. Many customers choose QualiPorcelain because they want a bathroom feature that stands apart from typical showroom products.
Bespoke Sink Styles
We offer several basin styles designed to suit different bathroom layouts and plumbing requirements.
Style 1 – Classic with Pop-Up Waste
A timeless design featuring a pop-up waste system. This style offers a clean, modern appearance and can include an optional removable bottom cover tile.
Style 2 – Removable Drain Access
This option allows access to the drain through a removable section, making maintenance straightforward while maintaining a seamless design.
Style 3 – Hidden Waste System
Water flows through a narrow channel into a concealed bowl and waste system underneath the basin. This design creates a minimalist appearance with no visible waste fitting from above.
Bespoke Vanity Units
Alongside sinks and washbasins, QualiPorcelain also fabricates bespoke vanity units designed to complement porcelain sinks.
Vanity units can be:
Wall mounted
Floor standing
Integrated with custom sinks
Each unit is built using strong, stable construction materials and fitted with smooth-running drawer systems for practical bathroom storage.
The porcelain surface can be matched across both the sink and vanity unit to create a seamless, modern bathroom design. Many of these designs can be explored in our Bespoke Vanity Units collection, where handcrafted units are designed to complement our sinks.
Designed to Fit Your Bathroom
Because every piece is made to order, sinks and vanity units can be tailored to suit your specific layout.
Customisation options include:
Sink position (left, right, or centre)
Wall-mounted or countertop designs
Integrated vanity unit installations
Tap hole placement and spacing
Custom dimensions up to 1800mm wide
This flexibility allows homeowners and designers to create bathroom features that fit perfectly within their space.
Customers can send measurements, drawings, or inspiration photos, or we can assist with the full design process and layout planning.
Durability and Performance
Bathroom furniture must withstand constant moisture and daily use. For this reason, durability is a key part of our fabrication process.
Our sinks typically weigh between 20kg and 80kg, depending on size and design, and are constructed to be fully waterproof externally with water-resistant internal structures.
Porcelain surfaces are naturally resistant to stains, scratches, and cleaning products, making them ideal for long-term bathroom use.
To provide additional reassurance, every QualiPorcelain product is supplied with a 10-year guarantee.
What Customers Say
Because every sink and vanity unit is handcrafted, many of our projects come through word-of-mouth recommendations and repeat customers. Feedback often highlights the quality of craftsmanship and the attention to detail involved in each project.
One customer who commissioned two bespoke vanity units shared:
“Radek made two stunning bathroom vanity units for us; a large double unit with drawers and a single trough unit with a drawer. He is a true craftsman and very easy to work with.”
Another customer noted the combination of quality and value:
“Excellent quality, competitively priced, amazing results. Extremely friendly and professional. I highly recommend Qualiporcelain.”
Customers also frequently comment on the communication and service throughout the process:
“We did a lot of shopping around and decided Qualiporcelain was the company for us. From the initial phone call through the whole process the communication was second to none. Radek made an absolutely beautiful porcelain vanity for us and we are so pleased.”
Installation and Technical Support
We offer both fabrication and installation services across the UK.
Before production begins, customers receive detailed technical drawings for approval, ensuring every dimension and specification is correct before fabrication starts.
Wall-mounted sinks are supplied with custom steel brackets, and installations can be carried out on any structurally sound wall, including stud walls.
Most installations are typically completed by bathroom fitters, plumbers, or tilers, although our team can also manage installation where required.
