no screw holes in the sink

[barkeep]

Just bought a new bathroom suite but have found there are no holes, to screw the sink to the wall, in the sink. I have pvc cladding around the bathroom so it is a non-porus surface. Help please

Small basins are often hung on brackets like these:-

Screw them to the wall, and the basin hooks behind the top part of the bracket.

There are chunkier versions available for larger basins

Is it a wall-hung basin or a pedestal basin?

 

[barkeep]

pedestal basin

 

[muggles]

Are there no large holes in the back of the basin (I'm assuming here that you're expecting small ones in the bottom corners)

 

[barkeep]

yes.....just what I've used before. The brackets sound feasable, but did not come with the sink

There are 2 holes mid way up the rear of the sink.....about an inch by 3/4" but I assumed these were from the production process( or something)....never seen them before> if these are for hangars.....do they normally come with the sink?

Thanks for your help fellas ( or ladies if it applies)

Yup, they're fixing holes, you use these with them http://www.screwfix.com/prods/71804/Fixings/Furniture-Fixings/Fischer-Basin-Fixing-Kit

They're only good in solid walls, they won't work in cavities, so here's hoping behind your PVC you have blockwork and not a stud wall...

You wouldn't normally get fixings with a basin, you have to buy them seperately.
