Shaws have been manufacturing fireclay sinks for over 100 years in Lancashire England. Using time honoured traditional methods and materials, each sink is an individual product bearing testament to the craftsman who produce them. Due to the handcrafted nature and weight of Shaws sinks we recommend a specialist Kitchen fitter install your sink. And due to the individuality of the sink it is advised no cut out is done without possession of the sink (There can be + or – 2% shrinkage due to the firing process).

Care and Maintenance:

Please carefully observe the following instructions:

• We recommend using a soft sponge or cloth and a nonabrasive cleaning product. Soap and water will generally be sufficient.
• SHAWS fireclay sinks are manufactured with a durable glaze for years of beautiful performance. On the occasion that a metal pan or cutlery may mark the surface of the sink, we recommend “Cramer-Email Star Polish” cleaner to remove the mark.
• Do not use undiluted chemicals such as bleach in sinks.
• While no coloured sink of any kind is impervious to damage, fireclay resists chips, scratches and stains better than other materials. In the rare instance of a chip, colour match repair kits are available. “Cramer-Ceramic Repair Kits”.
• The Sink is a handcrafted product. The graduation of the drain is subtle. It may not drain in the same way that you are accustomed. The bottom may need to be wiped dry occasionally.
