4 week old belfast sink

hi there,
we have a lovely Belfast sink fitted last month and this morning I noticed there are some defects which appear to be scratches under the surface of the bottom of the sink, the surface of the sink has no grooves in it, the scratches seem underneath the surface porcelain
as they only appear on the bottom of the sink, I am not sure if these are defects or what would be regular scratches? bearing in mind we have probably used this sink a dozen times, but do have a washing up bowl in it
Is this normal?

ahh I was afraid you may say that - I am afraid I have no means of getting a picture on here - so sorry - so I guess no one can answer the question really lol. the only thing I am sure of, it isn't 'crazing' as I have just looked at pics of that online, ours do seem random scratches but would imagine they would feel more on the surface rather than underneath,The opposite of what you know...is also true0

Give the following a try and see how it works. Had similar issue with small Vanity sink in my shower room, which had some fine, grey coloured scratches on in it. Transpires that my razor was scratching against the base when shaving and left some marks.
Get a piece of muslin cloth/stockinette roll and use a small amount of T cut on it. Rub lightly over were the marks are. If they come off, the marks must be coming from either cutlery in the sink, or some grit of some sorts under the bowl. If they dont come off, then you will have an issue with the glazing of the sink and go back to who you got it from.
The T cut wont harm the glazing, if you use a little and then wash it off.
That is the way to find out if t is a manufacturer issue or just an accident and what you need to watch out for in future.0
