Bespoke Basins in South London
South London is a patchwork of Victorian terraces, Edwardian semis and endless loft and side-return extensions — homes being reshaped for growing families. The bathroom is almost always the tightest room in the plan. A made-to-measure sintered stone basin is how you get a considered, hard-wearing bathroom out of an awkward space. Lave designs and delivers across the area.
Terraces, Extensions and Loft En-Suites
Clapham, Balham and Wandsworth are wall-to-wall Victorian terraces, most now extended into the rear return or up into the loft. Dulwich and Herne Hill add Edwardian and inter-war family houses; Battersea mixes period terraces with new riverside apartments; Wimbledon and Greenwich bring their own grander stock. What ties them together is the renovation project — the family bathroom being reworked, or a new en-suite carved into the loft.
These are exactly the spaces where standard basins fail. A loft en-suite with a sloped ceiling, a narrow side-return shower room, a family bathroom squeezed between two bedrooms — none of them come in convenient 600mm increments. A made-to-measure vanity is drawn to the width you actually have and positions the bowl to clear the slope, the window or the door swing.
Built for a Busy Family Bathroom
South London bathrooms tend to work hard, and sintered stone is built for it. Fired at over 1200°C, it is completely non-porous — it does not stain from toothpaste or cosmetics, it does not need sealing, and it resists scratching and heat. In London's hard water, its matte, even surface hides limescale far better than gloss ceramic. Day to day, a wipe with a damp cloth is all it takes. Our sintered stone vs ceramic comparison explains why it lasts longer in daily use.
One Seamless Piece, Easy to Keep Clean
Every Lave basin is an integrated design: the countertop and bowl are formed as a single continuous sheet of stone, with no silicone joint to discolour and no rim to trap water. In a family bathroom that gets used morning and night, having nothing to scrub around the bowl is worth a great deal. See integrated basins vs drop-in bowls for the detail.
What You Can Specify
- Width — from a 700mm cloakroom unit to a 2400mm double-basin run.
- Bowl position — centred, offset to clear a slope or window, or twin bowls for a shared family bathroom.
- Overflow or no overflow — for the cleanest bowl.
- Cabinet finish — warm oak and walnut through to handleless matte.

- Yes. We design and deliver made-to-measure sintered stone basins and vanity units across South London — Clapham, Dulwich, Wandsworth, Battersea, Balham, Brixton, Greenwich and Wimbledon. Our studio is in Islington, N1; we work by appointment and online rather than as a walk-in showroom.
- Can you make a basin for a loft-conversion bathroom with a sloped ceiling?
- Yes. Loft en-suites are one of the most common South London projects. Because the vanity is drawn to your exact measurements, we can size the unit and set the basin position to work under a sloped ceiling or against an awkward dormer wall.
