Every bathroom needs a proper bin, but not just any old container will do. Our stainless steel pedal bins bring that perfect combination of hygiene and style that makes your bathroom feel properly finished. No more touching grimy bin lids with wet hands – just a gentle foot press and you're sorted.
These aren't flimsy plastic affairs that crack after six months or develop that permanent stale smell. Stainless steel construction means they'll look as good in five years as they do today, whilst the pedal mechanism ensures you never have to handle the bin directly. That matters more than you might think in a bathroom environment where cleanliness is paramount.
What size bathroom bin do I need for my space?
Size depends on your household and bathroom usage patterns. Our 3L bins work brilliantly for ensuite bathrooms or smaller households – they're compact enough to tuck beside toilets without dominating the space. The 5L capacity suits family bathrooms where there's more traffic and consequently more waste to manage.
Here's something worth considering: smaller bins actually encourage more frequent emptying, which can be healthier in humid bathroom environments where waste shouldn't linger. Conversely, larger bins reduce the daily chore of emptying but require more floor space. Most customers find the 3L size hits that sweet spot for regular use.
Are toilet brush and bin sets worth buying together?
Absolutely, and there's more to it than just aesthetic matching. Our coordinated sets ensure the toilet brush holder complements your bin perfectly – same finish, same design language, same quality standards. You know how mismatched bathroom accessories can make even the nicest spaces feel a bit thrown together? This solves that completely.
Plus, there's practical value in the pairing. Both items get used together during bathroom cleaning routines, so having them designed as a set means they work harmoniously in your space. The consistent stainless steel finish across both pieces creates that cohesive, intentional look that elevates your entire bathroom.
Do pedal bins work well on bathroom tiles?
They work beautifully, actually. The weighted base design prevents sliding around on smooth tiles, whilst the pedal mechanism means you're not accidentally nudging the bin with your hands or knees. Our round and square designs both feature bases that sit securely on tiled floors without scratching or marking.
The pedal operation is particularly clever on tiles because there's no slippage when you press down – the weight distribution keeps everything stable and responsive.
