Troubleshooting
Sink has scratches
While the polypropylene is scratch-resistant, deep scratches can occur with harsh abrasion. Minor scuffs can sometimes be reduced with a specific plastic cleaner. Avoid using abrasive materials during cleaning.
Tap is leaking
Check all plumbing connections to the tap and ensure they are tightened securely. Inspect rubber seals and washers for wear or damage and replace if necessary.
Water not draining effectively
Ensure the waste trap is clear of debris. Check the overflow outlet for blockages. Verify the sink is installed with adequate fall towards the waste pipe.
Pull-out spray is weak or blocked
Unscrew the spray head and check for any debris or limescale buildup. Soak the head in a vinegar solution if necessary, then rinse and reattach.
