Bächlein Tamula round countertop basin, Ø 31.5 cm, silicone supplied review

A small round bowl that names its clay body and comes with the tube of silicone you would otherwise be sent out for.

The bottom line Well made, well matched to its own range, and the least documented ceramic in this hub. Buy it for the set, not for the specification.

What you are getting

A small round white countertop basin, Ø 31.5 cm, in a stated mixture of terracotta and porcelain fired at 1280 °C, with a sealed surface and a tube of fast-drying silicone.

The material claim, and what it says

Most listings say “ceramic”. This one names terracotta and porcelain, fired at 1280 °C — a body and a temperature. The temperature is the part that matters: it is what vitrifies the body so a chip does not start absorbing water.

The silicone in the box

A countertop bowl is not bolted through the worktop. It stands on it, bonded and sealed with a bead of silicone underneath.

Every installation needs that tube, and almost nobody supplies it. Here it means the job finishes on the day the parcel arrives rather than after a trip out.

What is not published

Height. Bowl depth. Overflow. Waste hole.

The height is the one that matters most, because it is what your tap has to clear. Two bowls in this hub publish theirs at 120 and 130 mm. Measure this one before choosing a tap.

The case for buying it anyway

The same range makes taps, wastes and traps that publish their figures properly. A basin assembled from one range matches in finish and specification, which a basket of four brands does not.

What we like, and what we don't

Strengths

  • Names the body as a terracotta and porcelain mixture fired at 1280 °C, rather than simply saying "ceramic"
  • Supplies a tube of fast-drying silicone, which is what actually holds a countertop bowl down
  • From a range whose taps, wastes and traps are all specified properly, so the whole basin can be matched

Compromises

  • Publishes one dimension only — no height, no depth, no overflow statement
  • The dearest bowl but one in this hub, and the least documented
  • At 31.5 cm it is a hand-rinse bowl, not a basin you can wash your face in

Questions people actually ask

Why does a countertop bowl need silicone?

Because it sits on the worktop rather than being clamped through it. A bead of silicone under the foot both bonds it and seals the joint against water running underneath. Supplying it means the installation is finished the same day.

How tall is it?

The listing does not say, and that is the figure your tap has to clear. Bowls of this diameter are typically 12 to 13 cm — but that is a general observation and not this maker's number, so measure it before choosing a tap.
