We use our own unique recipe of recycled sands and aggregates, cement, admixtures and pigments along with our own bespoke sealing process to produce our basins.

The sealing process produces an highly effective seal by impregnating the stone and leaving it breathable. The sealant repels dirt and makes maintenance and cleaning easier, whilst also impeding the formation of moulds and algae.

We finish our basins with a cream polish, which further protects the surface and gives an attractive sheen to the surface. 

To help maintain your concrete basin, we provide the following guidelines:

When cleaning your basin:

- Clean with warm soapy water followed by rinsing with clean water and drying with a soft cloth.

- Additional applications of cream polish or solid wax can be reapplied periodically to maintain the attractive finish of your basin.

Notes:

Surfaces are vulnerable to acid attack and some strong substances such as household cleaners or disinfectants can cause etching or discolouration. Such liquids are best wiped away as soon as possible.

Do NOT use products containing bleach to clean your basin. Take care when using such products in the bathroom, to avoid the basin. Permanent discolouration may occur.

Do NOT rub the concrete with an abrasive material such as scouring or metal pads as this will result in scratching and permanent damage to the concrete. Cream cleaners should also be avoided as long term use will scratch the surface.

AVOID impacts from heavy objects onto the concrete as the edges are vulnerable to chipping and cracking.

When using cleaning or polish products always follow the manufacturers guidelines and test in a small inconspicuous area before applying to the entire surface.

Following these guidelines keep your basin in the best condition and limit the effects of everyday use.
