‘T’-Cut or ‘Colour Cut’ both available from car spare shops or garages are products originally designed to remove traffic film and grime from the paint work of your car before the application of a protective wax
polish.
Having removed all waterline deposits, mop the bath dry, then apply ‘T’-Cut generously and vigorously with a large soft cloth made into a pad.
Polish off with a similar large soft cloth.

You are informed by most Acrylic bath manufacturers that all your
bath requires is a wipe round with warm soapy water to maintain its
original condition. Perfectly true - in an ideal world, but it doesn’t
often work out like that. Certain members of the family don’t seem
to be able to remember to rinse and wipe the bath round after use!
In some areas the water is very hard producing heavy deposits round
the water line which can be very persistent. In soft water areas the
water is often discoloured presenting problems of a different nature.
The waxy soapy lime deposits which build up so insidiously around
and below the water line making your bath look dull and unkempt do
not readily respond to soap and water or proprietory detergents -
and you are probably already aware that abrasive cleaners
are not to be employed under any circumstances.
The most effective way to remove these deposits is with the use of a
‘Polypropylene’ pan scourer - the type that looks like a loose ball of
wool, but which contains no abrasive material. Polypropylene is softer
than Acrylic and so it will not affect the bath surface.

The infinite repairability of Acrylic referred to earlier applies particularly
to baths formed from heavy gauge 8mm cast Acrylic since there is
obviously much more material to work with.
If your bath is accidentally damaged, i.e. chipped or scratched, in most
cases it can be satisfactorily repaired depending to some extent on the
position and depth of the damage. Sometimes the problem cannot be
completely eliminated but can be reduced to a mere speck.

The household products that will damage your Acrylic bath are few
and fairly obvious. eg.
1. Bleach i.e. Domestos, Parazone.
2. Nail Varnish Remover - Acetone.
3. Paint Stripper
4. Dry Cleaning Fluid - Tricoethylene.
5. Undiluted ‘Dettol’ will attack the surface of Acrylic if left for a
long time. However it may be used freely in the bath water for
medical purposes without any ill effect.
6. Avoid the use of Abrasive Powders If these products are
used inadvertently the dulled surface can soon be restored in the
manner described earlier.
7. Remember to run the cold water first, particularly if you
have a solid fuel hot water system which cannot be controlled by
a thermostat.
Acrylic softens at about
160-180°C but the
repeated onslaught of near
boiling water on the
same spot will eventually
cause distortion and
discolouration (Fading).

Decorated Sanitary Ware

Many companies who once produced floral or geometric bathroom designs on their top-of-the-range bathroom suites have ceased production or closed all together.

Discontinued Bathrooms is able to refire new bathroom suites in many decors from the past.

Please provide a photograph of the desired floral decoration using our quote me form.

Discontinued Colours

If we do not have a particular sanitary ware design in the correct colour you require we are able to change the colour of pottery be refiring items into one of our kilns.

Items are cleaned and over sprayed with the appropriate glaze, then placed in one of our kilns to be refired.

The firing cycle is approx 3 hours reaching a maximum 120 degrees centigrade. This process is much the same as when originally fired. Once cooled, the basins, toilets and other pieces are unloaded checked and despatched to our London warehouse.
