This demo pairs an illustrative slim basin tap with its waste. Choose a finish and a pop-up or click drain, and both arrive in the summary as one specification, ready to quote.
The waste is the part of a basin set that buyers forget until the plumber asks for it. It then gets bought separately, often in the wrong finish, and a brushed brass tap ends up over a chrome plug. The drain mechanism matters too. Each type suits different basins, and the choice affects how the basin is used every day.

What you can configure
Finishes on show are chrome, matte black, brushed brass and brushed nickel, four of six, and the drain can be pop-up or click. A pop-up waste is usually worked by a lift rod or lever, while a click waste opens and closes when the plug itself is pressed. Your drain choice is logged in the summary; a production build would picture the plug in a matching finish.

- Drain: Pop-up, Click
Why a configurator suits basin taps
Six finishes and two drain types is twelve combinations, but the real number is higher. Wastes come slotted for basins with an overflow and unslotted for basins without, so a retailer may stock four waste variants per finish. Customers rarely know which they need, and the wrong one either leaks or never seals.
One question, whether the basin has an overflow, is enough to supply the right waste in the right finish automatically. That turns a forgotten add-on into a default part of the order. It also takes a familiar post-installation complaint, a waste that does not match or does not fit, off the returns desk.
For online bathroom retailers the benefit repeats across the range. The same waste logic applies to every basin tap in the catalogue, so the rule, once built, covers dozens of products in the range. Selling the tap and waste as one configured item also makes the price comparison fairer against competitors who quote the tap alone.
How a production version would be built
A production version would photograph each tap finish and each waste in matching finishes, from angles that sit well together on the page. Wastes are small and simple, so rendering them from CAD is usually quicker than shooting. On the data side I would need tap and waste SKUs, which wastes suit which basins, and any finish not offered in both drain types. On WooCommerce the tap and waste go to the basket as linked products, so stock is tracked for each.
Build sheet for this range
- Colours in the full range: 6 (4 shown in this demo)
- Drain choices: 2
- Combinations to support: 6 × 2 = 12
- Images for one photograph per combination at 3 angles: 36
- Images if drains can be shown as separate layers, at 3 angles: 24
- Data each of the 12 combinations needs: a SKU or variant ID, price, stock or lead time, and any dimensions or specification that change
Questions about basin tap configurators
Will it work out whether a customer needs a slotted or unslotted waste?
Yes. One question about whether the basin has an overflow is enough, or the answer can come from a basin chosen earlier in the same configurator. The rule then selects the slotted or unslotted version in the chosen finish. Unsure customers can see a simple diagram of where to look on their basin.
Should the waste always match the tap finish?
By default, and the configurator should pre-select it. Some designers deliberately mix finishes, such as a black tap with a brushed brass waste, so the choice can stay open with a note. What matters is that the customer chooses on purpose rather than discovering a chrome plug after the plumber leaves.
Can a slim tap be shown at true scale against different basins?
Yes, as long as every image is shot at the same scale. A slim body reads very differently on a large countertop bowl than on a small cloakroom basin. A production build could show the tap on two or three basins from your range, so buyers judge proportion as well as finish. That also cross-sells the basin.
What does it cost to add a configurator to an existing bathroom store?
There is no fixed price. It depends on how many tap families and finishes you carry, whether consistent imagery exists, and how the configurator connects to your store and stock. Logic such as waste selection is built once and reused across products. My configurator cost guide sets out the main factors.
