FAQs

What is the main advantage of a double bowl sink?

A double bowl sink allows for greater multitasking in the kitchen. You can wash dishes in one bowl while preparing food or rinsing items in the other, improving efficiency and workflow.

Can I install a waste disposal unit with this sink?

The sink is supplied with a standard waste kit. Compatibility with a waste disposal unit would depend on the specific unit and whether it can be adapted to the sink's waste outlet. It's recommended to consult the waste disposal unit manufacturer for compatibility.

Is the gloss white finish difficult to keep clean?

The gloss finish provides a modern look but may show water spots or smudges more readily than a matte finish. Regular cleaning with mild soap and a soft cloth is recommended to maintain its shine.

Does the sink come with a tap?

No, the sink does not include a tap. This sink does not have pre-drilled tap holes, allowing you the flexibility to choose and position your tap as desired.

What is the minimum cabinet size required?

A minimum base unit width of 900 mm is required to properly install this sink due to its overall dimensions.

How resistant is the ceramic to chipping?

The ceramic is highly resistant to heat, stains, and scratches. However, like most ceramic materials, it can chip if a heavy or sharp object is dropped onto it with significant force.

What does the 10-year warranty cover?

The 10-year warranty typically covers manufacturing defects and issues arising from normal use. It's advisable to check the specific warranty terms provided by Rangemaster for full details.

Troubleshooting

Sink has visible scratches.

While highly scratch-resistant, deep scratches can occur. Minor surface scratches may be buffed out using a ceramic repair kit or a specialized ceramic cleaner. Avoid using abrasive pads during cleaning to prevent future scratches.

Water is draining slowly.

Check the included waste kit for blockages. Ensure the trap is clear and that no debris is obstructing the pipes. If the issue persists, consult a plumber.

Discoloration on the sink surface.

Persistent stains can usually be removed with a paste of baking soda and water, or a non-abrasive bathroom cleaner specifically designed for ceramic. Rinse thoroughly afterward.

Sink feels unstable after installation.

Re-check the fixing clips or adhesive used during installation. Ensure the sink is level and securely fastened to the countertop and base unit. If undermounted, verify the adhesive seal is robust.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent durability and resistance to scratches, heat, and stains.
  • Spacious double bowl design enhances kitchen workflow.
  • Timeless gloss white finish complements various kitchen styles.
  • Flexible installation options (inset or undermount).
  • Includes a necessary waste kit for convenience.
  • Long 10-year warranty provides peace of mind.

Cons

  • Requires a minimum 900mm base unit, limiting installation in smaller kitchens.
  • Ceramic material, while durable, can chip if heavy objects are dropped with force.
  • No pre-drilled tap holes offer installation flexibility but require precise drilling if needed.
  • The weight (25.5 kg) may require two people for installation.
  • Gloss finish might show water spots more readily than a matte finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Rangemaster Rustique sink is designed for either inset (top-mount) or undermount installation. Ensure your countertop is compatible with your chosen method. For inset installation, cut the appropriate aperture in your worktop. For undermount, the sink is fitted beneath the worktop, requiring professional fabrication for a seamless look. A minimum base unit width of 900mm is required to accommodate the sink's dimensions (796mm width) and allow for proper fitting and plumbing. The sink comes with a compatible waste kit, which should be installed according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Compatibility: This sink does not have pre-drilled tap holes. If you plan to install a tap, you will need to drill holes in the ceramic using appropriate diamond-tipped drill bits and safety precautions. It is compatible with standard kitchen plumbing.

Care: To maintain the gloss white finish, clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals that could scratch or damage the ceramic surface. For stubborn marks, a paste of baking soda and water can be gently applied. Rinse thoroughly after cleaning and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
