"A plastic washing tub" or "A plastic basin"?

Question

I got the large round container without a lid, used for washing clothes in the below picture. But I don't know how to call it.

What do you name that plastic washing container? A plastic washing tub, a plastic basin or something?

If you google plastic basin, you will see numerous identical images. Plastic tub throws up similar images, although the tubs tend to be deeper than the basins. — Ronald Sole, Oct 8, 2019 at 11:30

Where I come from, this is a plastic basin or bowl - it is round, has no lid, and can't be described as a box.

A plastic tub is perhaps a slightly more generic term, applying to pretty much any kind of plastic box, but particularly one with a lid.
