Knock it up out of MDF and tile it.
My latest bathroom has a chrome stand for the (otherwise wall mounted) basin. This is so much higher than the vanity units THEY had to be jacked up on a tiled MDF plinth to match it :-)
Anyway, make sure you can still piss in it, however high it is. Until you get the loo installed, thats a useful feature ;-)
The message from Frank Erskine contains these words:
The wife was most taken with my Mum's kitchen sink. It goes up and down at the touch of a button - from about 2' up to about 3'6". Smashing. I can wash up without getting a stiff back.
No problem once you're started, its the kick-off and completion that wet yer foot. And I hope you have another solution for number 2. Simon.
I am sure I don't know WHAT you mean there...
Bucket and spade..
OK, photos up at . Not very good ones as the sun is streaming through the south-facing window (there's no danger of our being overlooked, so we also have plain glass in the window wiht a *wonderful* view down the garden). As to details, it was 10 years ago and memory is fuzzy. The material was simply green chipboard, painted and then carpeted (and to all I-hate-carpet-in-bathroom fans, it's worked remarkably well). We arranged it so that the basin is pretty-well flush with the windowsill, which is tiled to match the bath times. Come back to me if you have any specific questions.
