Troubleshooting

Water leaking from the base

Inspect the base for any visible damage. Minor leaks might be sealed with a suitable metal sealant, but significant damage may require replacement.

Handle feels loose

Check if the handle attachment points show signs of stress. If the handle is riveted, it may be difficult to repair. For screws, try tightening them. If it's a weld, professional repair might be needed or consider replacement.

Pouring spout is blocked

Use a thin, flexible wire or a pipe cleaner to gently dislodge any debris in the spout. Rinse thoroughly with water afterwards.

Cream finish is scratched or chipped

Minor scratches can sometimes be polished out. For chips, touch-up paint designed for metal surfaces can be used, though it may not perfectly match the original finish.
