Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use gentle cleaners
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
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.
