What we work on

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Repair chips before they stain
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
