Soap Dishes

Wall mounted soap dishes in chrome, matt black, brushed brass and brushed nickel, matched to the tap ranges. Round, square and traditional bracket shapes with glass or metal dishes.

A wall mounted dish keeps bar soap off the basin rim, which is where it turns to sludge. Look for a dish that drains — either a lipped shape that lets water run back to the basin, or a perforated base.

Soap dish or dispenser?

• A dish suits bar soap and needs to drain, or the soap softens.
• A dispenser suits liquid soap and keeps the basin area tidier.
• Mount the dish over the basin or within the shower splash zone so drips land somewhere sensible.
• Glass dishes lift out for cleaning; metal ones are harder to break.

Also in this range: all bathroom accessories, soap dispensers and tumbler holders.

Frequently asked questions

Do soap dishes drain?

The better designs do, either through a lipped shape that returns water to the basin or a perforated base. A flat sealed dish will hold water and soften the soap.

Can a soap dish go inside the shower?

Yes, provided it is fixed into a sound tiled wall and drains. A wire shower basket is often the more practical choice inside an enclosure because it holds bottles as well.
