Wickes Scratched Sink (BRAND NEW)

Hi everyone!

I had a Maui 1 Bowl SS RHD sink fitted as part of my new Wickes kitchen and within days of it being fitted scratches started to appear. all over. Has anyone else experienced anything like it - Wickes now cannot replace this as it is now out of stock.

Thanks!

    Is it shiny bright stainless? A picture would be useful.

    I'd suggest a washing up bowl, something is obviously doing the scratching.

    If it was faulty then you can expect Wickes to find you or pay for a replacement.
    If its a Carron then there are other suppliers such as :

    If it's a stainless steel sink then scratches are inevitable I'm afraid. Just becomes part of the overall patina.

    Stainless steel can be quite soft. It's even possible to scratch it with a pan scourer. So your sink will pick up scratches over time. That doesn't mean it's faulty.
    If it sticks, force it.
    If it breaks, well it wasn't working right anyway.
