Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install this basin, you must first accurately template the cutout on your worktop according to the manufacturer specifications for the BCSR171 model. Ensure your chosen worktop is moisture-resistant, as cut edges near a basin are prone to water damage. The basin requires a standard basin waste (not provided) and should be sealed against the countertop using a high-quality, mold-resistant silicone sealant. For daily care, clean the surface with a non-abrasive bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth to maintain the shine of the vitreous china. Avoid harsh scouring pads or acidic chemicals that could dull the glazed finish over time.
