Materials we work on in Manor House
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use gentle cleaners
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
