Bauhaus Modest Bathroom Suite

The Modest bathroom suite from Bauhaus is created using the highest standard manufacturing process and designed to suit any clean living modern bathroom, its no fuss approach to design and very reasonable price make it a winner for any discerning consumer.

The Modest is a compact bathroom suite comprising of just six choices. The Modest 50 basin is designed to be either wall hung, on an optional pedestal or counter top for a piece of furniture, it is supplied with a single tap hole for a mono bloc basin mixer and a built in overflow.

There are 4 choices for the Modest toilet the close coupled toilet is available in two types both with a projection of just 655mm which is one of the smallest on the market and a great space saving. Both versions come with a dual flush of 3 and 6 liters and are fully internally glazed for hygiene and easy cleaning. So the only difference is you get an open backed version for side entry of the soil stack connection, or if the outlet is straight into the floor or out the back wall the Modest close coupled closed back option makes a neater look and even easier to keep the bathroom clean.

The last two options for the WC is the Modest back to wall pan where you can conceal a cistern in furniture or a wall cavity, or for the ultimate in minimal design use the Modest wall hung pan which will make the room look larger.

All the WC’ s have a soft close WC seat available.

For a professional installation use the basin support frame and the Bauhaus WC support system also available.

Bath Filler Over Flow – Options

The concept of a bath filler over flow is simple, using a control valve to turn on and off the water flow and mix the temperature which will then send a premixed flow of water into the overflow spout and therefore fill up the bath via either a pop up or click clack waste mechanism.

You will hear these described as many differing terms like Exa fill, Extra fill, overflow bath filler, there are two types click clack or clicker where the plug section is pushed once to close the plug and pushed again to open the plug, these tend to project into the bath less but are less reliable or Pop up Bath filler overflow where the plug is operated via a turning knob for opening and closing the waste plug.

The best value for money one I have seen on the market is Tapstore’s own brand one which is manufactured from chrome on brass and comes with a ten year guarantee for £72.00, they also have a click clack version for £72.00 the version that Bathstore sell is just crosswaters one re branded for them as Extra Fill that one is the XT bath filler pop up waste and the Exafill is a Hansgrohe version.
