Pedestal basins, countertop vessel basins, wall hung and floor standing vanity units, and the mixer taps that suit each of them. Pedestal basins hide the trap and pipework and are the quickest replacement for an existing basin.

Countertop basins usually have no tap hole, so they need a tall mixer with at least 240mm of spout height or a wall mounted spout, which has to be planned at first fix. Vanity units are quoted by width, and the wall hung ones ship with brackets rated for the weight of the unit, the basin and the water in it.
