Fitting basin and ped advice?

[macka09]

Hi all. I'm fitting a basin and ped and I'm having a bit of bother. It's a roca basin with a high lip at the back that swoops down the sides. Thera no ridge on the base of the basin for it to sit on the ped but when I put it on flush the whole basin is out of level. If I put the back of the basin flush to the wall the from of it sits really low as if falling off the wall. Any advice??? Last time I just siliconed the basin in place as level as I could???

If the walls not level pull the bottom of the basin out from the wall and silicone the gap
if your screwing it up aswell makesure you use some spacers

Sometimes the porcalin mouldings can be crazy off,,,,, ive noticed quite alot of bad mouldings when customers think there getting cheap deals off the tinternet and the qaulity just isnt there , hence the price, if it can be returned go for it ,
Sometimes you need to put a packer under the pedestal to try and even it up or even a packer between the basin and pedestal, if there isnt a ridge and it looks daft you might have to make do with a real tidy bead of white silicone instead of a black shadow,

as said above really some times its better I find to use the fischer m10 basin fixings then place ped under and silicone in place once piped up as kris said usual to do with cheaper gear but to be fair I don't normally find roca bad at all

Well it's contract work so it must be cheap Roca. Thanks for the advice given. It's quite a big basin which is why the level of it sticks out a mile.
