Soap Dishes

A soap dish is a compact tray for a single bar and suits basins or baths, examples are the Architeckt Saturn Wall Hung or the Petit Round soap dish. A soap basket is larger, often with drainage and room for multiple bars or shower bottles, such as the RAK Ceramics Cubis or the Ideal Standard IOM soap basket. If you want a neat basin feature, a dish is ideal; for the shower or family bathrooms where you store more products, a basket works better.

You can match the finish to your taps and other accessories, chrome and clear glass give a timeless, classic look and are widely available, while matt black and brushed gold add a contemporary or boutique feel. The range includes clear and frosted glass, white/chrome, matt black, brushed nickel and brushed gold, so, choose chrome to pair with chrome taps or a matt black RAK or hansgrohe piece for a modern monochrome look.

Yes, wall-hung dishes like the Architeckt Saturn or compact Petit Square/Round holders are designed to sit neatly beside a basin without taking counter space. There's also a dedicated corner option, the Ideal Standard Concept Corner Soap Basket, which tucks into an unused corner in a shower or bath area and frees up room elsewhere.

Brands on offer include RAK Ceramics, Architeckt, Ideal Standard, Grohe and hansgrohe, each with different strengths: Grohe and hansgrohe are known for premium finishes and refined design, RAK Ceramics has the widest selection and many ceramic or chrome options, and Ideal Standard offers practical pieces like anti-vandal and corner baskets. If you want a high-end coordinated look with your fittings, hansgrohe or Grohe selections are a safe bet; for variety and value, RAK gives many styles and price points.

Wipe glass and chrome regularly with a soft cloth and mild soapy water, then dry to avoid water spots; avoid abrasive cleaners that will scratch clear or frosted glass. For brushed or satin finishes use a soft cloth along the grain to preserve texture, and for matt black avoid bleaching agents that can dull the finish. A quick wipe after each shower keeps a chrome or glass soap dish looking its best.
