Cooke & Lewis Fabienne Full pedestal Basin

Purchased this sink to replace an old one ,followed instructions and purchased a 12mm bit as instructed but a 12mm is too small so wasted £ on a drill bit as needs to be a 14mm which I already had ,the sealing kit is useless and would not seal ,had to purchase a different seal kit from another retailer.

Bought this sink and drilled the holes for the plugs then the anker bolts to fit in. I drilled the holes with a 12 mm masonary bit as specified in the instructions but when I tried to put the plugs in the holes the plug broke, on inspection the plugs are to big for the holes, I will rate the sink once it is fitted

I opened the box today at home to find significant faults with the basin and pedestal. Firstly the pedestal literally rocked back and forth on its base whilst sat on a perfectly level floor tile. On inspection of the base it was apparent there were clusters of solidified drops of the gloss coating stuck to it, causing it to be far from flat.

Secondly, the basin itself is mis-shapen when viewed from above and when checked with a square, one side angles in significantly compared to the other. Also when viewed from the front the rim of the basin is not level or parallel with the back edge.

There appears to have been no quality control done prior to packaging, which I was not expecting from one of your own brand product lines.

I bought this as a direct replacement of the same sink (called Fabian) as my wife dropped something heavy on the original by accident and it cracked...
This is a great design sink and pedestal, and terrific value for money. Collect it from store if you can as the delivery took quite a long time...

I bought this a month ago, easy to fit, all parts there to enable easy fitting. Hardest part was drilling holes in the bathroom wall for the fittings as the wall was constructed of very hard materials under the tile. Well worth th hard work
