FAQs

What is the warranty period for this countertop?

The RAK Ceramics Washington countertop comes with a 10-year guarantee from the date of purchase.

Does the basin come pre-attached or is it a separate piece?

The basin is integrated into the countertop, meaning it has a pre-formed recess for a drop-in basin.

Can I use any type of tap with this basin?

This countertop features one tap hole, designed for a standard single-hole mixer tap. Ensure your chosen tap is compatible with the basin dimensions.

How often should I re-seal the marble countertop?

It is recommended to re-seal the marble upon installation and then periodically, typically once a year, or as needed based on use and the specific sealer product's instructions.

What happens if I spill something acidic on the marble?

Acidic spills can etch the marble surface, causing dull spots. Wipe up spills immediately with a damp cloth and use only pH-neutral cleaners for routine maintenance.

Can I cut directly on the marble surface?

It is strongly advised not to cut directly on the marble surface. Doing so will damage the stone and the sharpness of your knives. Always use a cutting board.

Is the white marble prone to staining?

Natural marble can be porous and is susceptible to staining if liquids are left to sit. Promptly wiping up spills and maintaining a proper seal will significantly reduce the risk of staining.

Troubleshooting

Water not draining properly from the basin

Check the basin waste trap for blockages. Ensure the waste pipe is clear and properly connected.

Dull appearance or light scratches on the marble surface

The surface may need repolishing with a marble-specific polishing compound. Ensure sealing is up-to-date. For deeper scratches, consult a stone care professional.

Visible water spots or faint rings on the marble

These can be etching marks. Try cleaning with a marble-specific cleaner. Ensure the sealer is reapplied to prevent future occurrences.

Countertop feels unstable

Verify that the supporting basin unit is level and securely fixed. Check that the countertop is properly seated on the unit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the supporting RAK Washington basin unit (600mm, 800mm, or 1200mm) is securely installed and level. Carefully place the countertop onto the unit, ensuring it sits flush. The integrated basin should align with the unit's structure. Installation of the tap and waste is standard for a 1 tap hole basin.

Compatibility: This 800mm countertop is designed to fit RAK Washington 600mm, 800mm, or 1200mm basin units. It is finished to coordinate with the RAK Washington furniture range.

Care: Marble requires specific care to maintain its beauty.

  1. Sealing: Apply a standard marble sealer upon installation and reapply periodically (e.g., annually or as recommended by the sealer manufacturer) to protect against stains and moisture penetration.
  2. Cleaning: Use only mild, pH-neutral cleaning agents and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, acidic products (like vinegar or lemon juice), and harsh chemicals, as these can etch or damage the marble surface.
  3. Spills: Wipe up spills immediately with a damp cloth to prevent staining.
