Thread: Scratched sink

  1. #1

    Scratched sink

    Noticed a few little black scratches on our fairly new white double Belfast sink.
    Any ideas how to remove them ? Tried bleach cif etc. No good
    Cheers Andy

    The marks could be caused by aluminium pans rubbing against the ceramic, I’ve had this happen and it’s quite hard to shift. T cut or a washing up pad will do it.

    Try acid.

    Alcohol doesn't agree with me, but I do enjoy the argument.....

    Mcfastybloke’s suggestion should work a treat, also a pencil eraser if you have one in the house may do it especially the type that is made of two different kinds of rubber. Think one is for pencil and the other for pen. Use the pen side as I think is made of the same stuff in mcfasty’s link

    AKA a sand & rubber eraser.

    An ink eraser’s too abrasive, it’ll scratch the ceramic. I’d use that as a last resort. Hydrochloric acid applied carefully would be ideal, but it’s not so easy to get hold of.

    Not sure HCl would have much of an effect mate.
