What is the warranty period for this bundle?

Troubleshooting
Tap is dripping
The ceramic disc may be worn or there might be debris. Turn off the water supply, remove the tap handle, and check the ceramic disc cartridge for damage or debris. If damaged, the cartridge may need replacement.
Sink has a persistent stain
Try a paste of baking soda and water. Apply to the stain, let it sit for 15-20 minutes, then gently scrub with a soft cloth and rinse. For very stubborn stains, consult a specialist fireclay cleaner.
Water flow from tap is weak
Check the aerator on the tap spout for blockages (sediment or limescale). Unscrew the aerator and clean it. Also, check the water supply valves to ensure they are fully open.
Waste is slow to drain
Ensure the plug in the basket strainer waste is fully open. Check the waste pipework for any visible blockages. Remove the basket strainer and clean any debris from the waste opening.
