FAQs

What material is the sink made from?

The sink is crafted from durable fireclay, known for its strength and resistance to stains and scratches.

Is the tap included with the sink?

Yes, this bundle includes an elegant French Classic tap in Chrome.

What is a basket strainer waste?

A basket strainer waste is a component that fits into the sink's drain hole. It includes a removable basket to catch food debris, preventing drain blockages, and ensures reliable drainage.

Can I install this sink myself?

While possible for experienced DIYers, professional installation is recommended to ensure a secure fit, proper sealing, and correct plumbing connections due to the sink's weight and integrated nature.

How do I clean the fireclay sink?

Clean with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the finish.

What are the dimensions of the sink?

The sink has a width of 595mm. Specific depth and height measurements can be found in the product's technical specifications.

Will this sink fit in any kitchen cabinet?

It is designed for standard kitchen cabinets, but ensure the cabinet base is strong enough to support the weight of the fireclay sink and that the cabinet opening is appropriately sized.

Troubleshooting

Sink has a slow drain rate.

Ensure the basket strainer waste is correctly seated and that no debris is blocking the drain holes. Check for kinks or blockages in the connected waste pipe.

Tap is dripping.

Check if the tap is fully closed. If the dripping persists, the internal cartridge may need cleaning or replacement. Refer to the tap manufacturer's specific instructions.

Surface appears scratched.

Fireclay is highly resistant to scratches, but very hard objects could potentially mark the surface. Use a non-abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth to gently buff out minor marks. Avoid using metal scourers.

Water stains on the chrome tap.

Wipe the tap dry with a soft cloth after each use. For existing stains, use a mild cleaner specifically designed for chrome and buff with a soft cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

This sink is designed for installation into a standard kitchen countertop. It typically requires a sturdy cabinet base for support due to its weight. Professional installation is recommended to ensure proper sealing and plumbing connections. Ensure the countertop is cut precisely to the sink's dimensions.

Compatibility:

  • Plumbing: Compatible with standard UK plumbing connections. The included basket strainer waste is designed for typical waste disposal units or pipework.
  • Worktops: Suitable for installation into solid wood, laminate, granite, or quartz worktops. Ensure the worktop material can support the weight of the fireclay sink.

Care:

  • Clean the sink regularly with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can scratch the surface.
  • For stubborn marks, use a mild non-abrasive cleaner. Rinse thoroughly with water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots, especially on the chrome tap.
  • Periodically check the seal around the sink edge and the plumbing connections for any signs of leaks.
