Make a Bold Statement with Black Bathroom Basins
Buildmat’s collection of black bathroom basins fuses sculptural elegance with deep, saturated tones, perfect for those wanting to break away from safe, all-white spaces.
Whether you’re designing a moody powder room, a luxe ensuite, or a minimalist wet zone, black basins bring sophistication, edge, and contrast to any bathroom.
Crafted from premium materials and available in a range of profiles and installation styles, our black basins deliver both aesthetic impact and everyday functionality. Designed for renovators, stylists, and designers who value form, finish, and enduring quality.
Design Styles
Black basins naturally command attention. These style variations let you shape the tone of your bathroom:
- Fluted Basin: Vertical grooves create striking texture and visual depth, especially under ambient lighting.
- Smooth Basin: A soft-touch matte finish delivers a contemporary, ultra-refined look that complements stone, timber, or metallic fixtures.
- Satin-Glazed Ceramic Basin: Slightly reflective for a subtle sheen, ideal for adding depth without the glare.
Installation Types
- Above-Counter Basin: Showcase the full form of your black basin with a freestanding design that brings instant contrast and presence.
- Semi-Inset Basin: Balance drama and practicality with a partially-recessed style for stability, while retaining a bold edge above the bench.
- Undermount Basin: For a minimalist black-on-black look when paired with a matching dark benchtop.
Materials & Finishes
Black basins are available across our most durable and design-forward materials:
- Matte Ceramic: Hardwearing and scratch-resistant with a smooth, tactile surface. Ideal for everyday bathrooms.
- Concrete Look: Adds subtle tonal variation and texture, ideal for industrial, Japandi, or rustic-modern spaces.
- Stone Look: Lightweight composite with natural stone patterning in black or charcoal, offering the richness of real stone with easier care.
