FAQs

What material is the sink made from?

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

Is the tap included in the bundle?

Yes, the bundle includes a traditional design mono lever kitchen tap with a brushed brass finish and ceramic disc technology.

What size is the waste compatible with?

The bundle includes a 90mm basket strainer waste, which is compatible with standard UK plumbing connections.

Can I install this myself?

While minor installations might be possible, professional installation by a qualified plumber is highly recommended to ensure proper sealing, connections, and to prevent potential leaks.

How should I clean the brushed brass tap?

Clean the brushed brass tap with a soft, damp cloth and a mild, pH-neutral cleaner. Always dry immediately after cleaning to prevent water spots and maintain the finish.

What is the benefit of the stepped weir design?

The stepped weir design helps to manage water flow effectively, ensuring smooth drainage across both bowls of the sink and reducing the likelihood of water pooling.

What does ceramic disc technology mean for the tap?

Ceramic disc technology provides a more durable and reliable seal within the tap, leading to smoother operation, better control over water flow and temperature, and a longer tap lifespan compared to traditional washer-based taps.

Troubleshooting

Sink dimensions slightly off

Due to the natural materials and manufacturing process, a tolerance of +/- 5mm is expected. Minor adjustments may be possible during installation; consult a professional if significant deviations occur.

Tap is dripping or not shutting off completely

This is often due to worn ceramic discs. The ceramic disc cartridge within the tap may need to be replaced. Refer to the tap manufacturer's instructions or contact a plumber.

Slow drainage from the sink

Check the basket strainer waste for any blockages. Ensure the plug is seated correctly and that there are no obstructions in the waste pipework leading from the sink.

Water spots on the brushed brass tap or waste

Wipe the surfaces dry immediately after use with a soft cloth. If water spots have formed, gently clean with a mild, pH-neutral cleaner and dry thoroughly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care:

  • Sink: Clean the fireclay sink regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the surface. For stubborn stains, a paste of baking soda and water can be used, followed by rinsing.
  • Tap & Waste: Clean the brushed brass finish with a soft, damp cloth. Use a mild, pH-neutral cleaner if necessary. Dry immediately after cleaning to prevent water spots. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could tarnish or scratch the finish.
