What waste do I need to buy for this sink and vanity unit?

Hi everyone,


We're having a bathroom renovation in January and I'm slightly at a loss as to what wastes I need to buy for the basins and vanity unit we've bought.


This is the vanity unit we bought (although not in the black Friday sale as it currently is *sob*): https://www.tikamoon.co.uk/art-industriel-metal-and-mango-vanity-cabinet-140-2246.htm


And these are the basins: https://www.tikamoon.co.uk/art-alexi-ceramic-washbasin-2036.htm


From what I've read online I think I need to buy an unslotted waste and a bottle trap waste.


What I'm confused about is:


a) there are no bottle traps in the picture - is this just for aesthetic purposes (i.e, the sinks are probably just placed on top for the purpose of the photo) or am I missing something?

b) even though the sink claims to have a plughole cut to "European norms" I'm really struggling to find a waste that is 4.5cm (which is what it says the plughole diameter is.) Most seem to be 61mm. Again, am I missing something or is it just that I'll have to keep trying to track one down? Will I also need to track down a bottle trap in this unusual size, or are they more universal?


Any advice appreciated, I really have no idea what I'm doing! I tried to ask my plumber but he didn't really answer my question.


Thanks so much
