Corner Wash Basin Guide: Wall-Hung and Pedestal Corner Basins, Sizes, Projection, Tap Choice, Drain Position, Storage, Fitting in Small Spaces and Indicative Rates in Pakistan
A corner wash basin fits into the angle of two walls, freeing floor space in small washrooms, dining areas and powder rooms, and its small size and shape need a careful choice of tap and drain. Prices run from about PKR 4,000 to PKR 12,000. This page covers wall-hung and pedestal corner basins, sizes, projection, tap choice, drain position, storage, fitting in small spaces and rates in Pakistan.

Size and projection
These basins are 35 to 50 centimetres along each wall and project about 25 to 35 centimetres. Check that the door and the passage still have room, and leave at least 60 centimetres in front.
Tap choice
Use a short single lever tap or a wall tap so the spout does not hit the walls. This kind of basin has one or no tap hole, so choose the tap to match. See washroom basin taps.
Drain position
The drain should be near the corner and low enough to give a slope. A bottle trap saves space under the basin. Plan the waste pipe route before tiling.
Storage and mirror
Add a corner shelf or a small cabinet above or beside the basin and a mirror on the wall above it. See bathroom corner shelves.
Fitting
Fix wall-hung basins to solid wall with strong brackets in both walls, and check the load by pressing down firmly. Fixed plumbing should be done by a licensed plumber.
What to check before buying
- Size and projection. Fits the corner and doorway
- Tap. Short or wall
- Drain. Close and sloped
- Brackets. Strong, into solid wall
Where it works best
It suits small washrooms, powder rooms, balconies and dining areas where a standard basin would block movement. It offers less counter space than a normal basin, so keep a small shelf nearby for soap and a cup. Check the angle of your walls too, since older homes often have corners that are not a true 90 degrees, and the basin must be matched to the real angle.
Before you decide
Measure the corner, choose a short tap and plan the drain before tiling. A corner wash basin is a smart way to add a wash point without losing floor space. Mark the outline on the wall with tape and stand in front of it to judge the fit before drilling, and keep the supply taps reachable under the basin for later repairs.
