They are a fantastic choice; not only adding a luxury touch to your aesthetic with that superior, high-end feel, but they are built to last.

However, it’s still really important to swat up on concrete basin care to ensure you can maintain the appearance and functionality for years to come. In this blog, we’ll share our essential guide to looking after concrete basins and the tips you need to keep yours in tip-top shape.
What is a Concrete Basin?
Concrete in bathrooms has become extremely popular due mainly to the durability and style of the pieces available. Our range of concrete sinks has many design options to choose from, including varying shapes, textures and colours, making it easy for all types of bathrooms to find the perfect fit. Plus, with slight variations in texture from piece to piece, you can enjoy a one of a kind basin in your home. The basins in our collection are either wall hung or countertop models, freeing up floor space in your bathroom and helping to provide a more spacious layout.
One of the key features of a concrete sink is down to the construction and material used to manufacture them. Every basin in our concrete range is made from a refined material that resists heat, scratches and stains. The concrete has two layers of a waterproof coating, creating a robust, anti-grease surface and helping to protect your basin for years to come. Not only that but the coated finish means cleaning it is super easy and keeping your basin spotless really is a breeze.
Once you’ve got to know our aftercare guide, you and your basin will live happily ever after!

Should I Clean Daily?
The superior coating used to seal the surface of the concrete basins makes them super easy to clean - and doesn’t require harsh, chemical cleaners to get the job done. It is recommended to rinse it with warm water immediately after each use or at the very least on a daily basis to remove any residual soap scum or build up.
You don’t need to use a cleaning product for this as water should suffice, but if you do want to use one, make sure it is pH-neutral, such as a mild washing up liquid, and a soft, micro-fibre cloth, which will gently cleanse the surface of the basin avoiding any damage to the coating and in turn the concrete structure. While the coating on our basins is incredibly strong, over time if your cleaner is either too acidic or too alkaline then this can cause the sealant to corrode, meaning water and other liquids can penetrate into the concrete causing damage.
Always use a soft, microfibre cloth or sponge to dry the basin after cleaning. This will ensure there are no water spots and will help to maintain that lovely, polished look. Try to avoid leaving water in the basin for too long and remove any toothpaste or cosmetics residue as soon as possible.
